For compatibility with the classical text console we use light grey as
the default color and a double-stroked font (which was necessary on the
CGA display since it didn't have enough bandwidth to handle
single-stroked fonts well). The problem with changing that to white is
that you end up with a mismatch between the earlyprintk console and the
"real" console, *or* we change the behavior of everyone's consoles...
