I'm not too keen on implementing all that when I have zero use for it. I can
however rename the trigger for the existing fb_center_logo bool to

	fbcon=logo-pos:center

and add a check for "top,left" to reset the bool to false. Then the other
variants can be added later by whomever and when needed.

Is that good enough?

Cheers,
Peter
