Doing vm86 or real-mode crap in dom0 itself is obviously not on. However,
currently Linux will only ever regurgitate Xen's original video mode. So the
video-mode field has no real user.

So... The video-mode stuff is removed for now. A flags field is added to the
platform hypercall so that something can be added later in a backwards
compatible manner if there is an actual user for it.
