MDA/HGC stuck around for quite a while for debugging, since it was non-conflicting with VGA, but even if it is, the reason people put it in their system is to have something that the OS doesn't readily see.
so the kexec tools need to scan the pci devices list, and find out how to set real_mode.isVGA and orig_video_mode, also need to parse the comand line about vga console.
