The current display page is an 8-bit number, even though struct
screen_info gives it a 16-bit number. The number is returned in %bh,
so it needs to be >> 8 before storing.

If the user has asked for the vertical height registers to be recomputed
by setting bit 15 in the video mode number, we do so without clearing the
Protect bit in the Vertical Retrace Register before setting the Overflow
register. As a result, if the VGA BIOS had set the Protect bit, the
write to the Overflow register will be dropped, and bits [9:8] of the
vertical height will be left unchanged.
This is a bug imported from the assembly version of this code. It was
pointed out by Etienne Lorrain.

Fix incorrect assembly constraints. In particular, fix memory
constraints used inside push..pop, which can cause invalid operation
since gcc may generate %esp-relative references.
Additionally:
outl() should have "dN" not "dn".
query_mca() shouldn't listen 16/32-bit registers in an 8-bit only
context.
has_eflag(): the "mask" is only used well after both the stack pointer
and the output registers have been touched; this requires the output
registers to be earlyclobbers (=&) and the input to exclude memory (so
"ri", not "g").
Thanks to Etienne Lorrain and Chuck Ebbert for prompting this review.

Video mode probing for the new x86 setup code. This code breaks down
different drivers into modules. This code deliberately drops support
for a lot of the vendor-specific mode probing present in the assembly
version, since a lot of those probes have been found to be stale in
current versions of those chips -- frequently, support for those modes
have been dropped from recent video BIOSes due to space constraints,
but the video BIOS signatures are still the same.
However, additional drivers should be extremely straightforward to plug
in, if desirable.
