In most cases, the bootloader puts up a splash screen on built-in lcd
panel, which sort of makes the problem easier (fixed resolution).  For
external display, I think you just have to size it for worst-case
(largest) resolution.

(ofc it is RFC since I was hoping to get comments if anyone has better
suggestions.. probably should have cc'd more people ;-))
