While code is just writing to the VGA memory, not reading(*) and not
touching the VGA I/O register that control the write latches, is it
possible in principle to swizzle the format around in memory to make
regular writes work?

(*) Reading should be ok for some settings of the write latches, I
think.

I wonder if guests of interest behave like that.
