It should.  The other question is, what to do with static pseudocolor?
Do we always assume console colors?  Or do we make drivers fill their own
info->cmap entries and not alter the contents when fb_set_cmap() is called?

Also, I made vesafb's visual static_pseudocolor if the mode is not VGA compatible
and the protected mode interface is absent.  Fortunately, the VGA colormap is carried
over to vesafb, so by accident, the console color map coincides with the hardware
CLUT and the logo and console displays correctly.
