It suggests something is very broken.  get_bpp only is supposed to 
return 0 when in VGA mode.  I don't think blitting should happen when in 
VGA mode.  Applying the patch is not a bad idea but what was the guest 
doing when this happened?  Was it in the process of transitioning from 
one mode to another?
