would anyone object if we also patched mga_vid to skip using the very
end of video memory, and instead locate its buffers a bit lower? the
kernel stores its console font at the very end of memory (at least
with the fastfont flag enabled in matroxfb), so the font gets trashed
when mga_vid writes that region.

i've already patched my copy, but i've probably skipped too much
memory -- i don't know exactly how much matroxfb needs for the font.
is it ok to lose say 16k or so to ensure that we stay a plenty far
away even when there's a fairly large font?
