The patch prevents setfont from accessing vga registers on the card when
the card is in graphics mode KD_GRAPHICS as we assume, that someone else (ie.
the Xserver) is in charge of the HW in which case accessing the vga registers
may (at best) have no effect (not even the desired one) or (at worst) interfer
with settings the graphics driver has made.
