Says who ?  It's the same grub, same video mode as before the regression,
so the size is probably 0x300000 like it always was.

That is internally consistent, but at variance with the video mode
set up by grub.

It is better to sqeeze bits by 4:3 on each line (regression) than to
scatter 4 logical lines across 3 physical lines (regression, patched) !

YES !  I can't peer into that struct screen_info and I don't know to
write the printk's.  (Hm, doesn't look too hard, but trust me, I would
fumble it.)

I'll back out the original patch first.
Stand by.
