The vga console driver is fairly self-contained, and only used by
architectures that explicitly initialize the screen_info settings.

Chance every instance that picks the vga console by setting conswitchp
to call a function instead, and pass a reference to the screen_info
there.

PCDP and ia64 changes look good to me.
