The existing stdvga driver from xen-unstable tools/ioemu/hw/vga* does
not save the emulated VGA memory contents.  The symptoms include video
malfunction after restore, including black screen (which can often be
fixed by asking the guest to redraw) but also missing font setup etc.
The attached patch fixes this by saving the entire VGA memory buffer,
just like the Xen ioemu Cirrus emulator does.

I have reinterpreted the `is_vbe' byte, which is related to
CONFIG_BOCHS_VBE, as a general flags word.  This enables my code to
allow old images to be restored (albeit with loss of VGA memory), by
using another bit in that word to indicate whether the VGA memory dump
is present.

I'm sending this patch to both xen-devel and qemu-devel, as
examination of a recent qemu cvs checkout shows the same bug to be
present there.  I don't know if the patch below (which is against
recent xen-unstable) will apply cleanly to qemu, but the code
generally looks very similar.
