[PATCH 0/4] [Maverick] maintain the bootloader screen display

[Andy Whitcroft]

We have a plan to get grub to display a splash screen and wish the kernel
to maintain this splash through to when we are ready to fire a plymouth
splash to replace it.  By making these similar the boot becomes almost
completly splashed and pretty.

There are two patches here, the first provides a new type of VT which
represents the bios screen and is never updated.  The second allows grub
to request this functionality.

Comments?  For Maverick.

  UBUNTU: SAUCE: vt -- maintain bootloader screen mode and content
    until vt switch
  UBUNTU: SAUCE: vt -- allow grub to request automatic vt_handoff
