The text mode console code can't support a non-linear mapping and trying to grab one used most or all of the vmalloc address space on a 32bit box (and most of those systems are only able to run 32bit). For the sake of a bootscreen loader (which could use DRM directly instead if it needed high resolution) it didn't seem worht it. Either way it's not IMHO a good idea for 32bit, 64bit maybe.
