On bochs DRM driver, the execution of "setterm --blank force" results
in a frozen screen instead of a blank screen.  It's due to the lack of
the screen blanking support in its code.

Actually, the QEMU bochs vga side can switch to the blanking mode when
the bit 0x20 is cleared on VGA_ATT_IW register (0x3c0), which updates
ar_index in QEMU side.  So, essentially, we'd just need to clear the
bit at pipe disable callback; that's what this patch does essentially.

However, a tricky part is that the QEMU vga code does treat VGA_ATT_IW
register always as "flip-flop"; the first write is for index and the
second write is for the data like palette.  Meanwhile, in the current
bochs DRM driver, the flip-flop wasn't considered, and it calls only
the register update once with the value 0x20.


Unless bochs does things very different, the index should first be reset by reading 0x3da. Then write the index, then the data.

Best regards

So, in this patch, we fix the behavior by simply writing the
VGA_ATT_IW register value twice at each place as well.
