Hi Randy,

I was watching that thread, I honestly thought it would have been pulled 
in by one of the console maintainers.

Openrisc does not have support for vga console, some people may have 
hacked something together, but its not in our kernel yet.  So I have no 
issue disabling it in the build.

I will pull it in to my branch.

If someone else pulls,
