Nope. You also have to consider if people are going to use vfa16fb for
fbcon. That framebuffer layout is in the old VGA 640x480 16 layout. I
don't remeber what that layout use to be since its been so long. So a
special vga16-linear-4 will have to be built. Anyone remeber the format to
vga16 4 bit anymore?
