Video mode selection became always possible in 2.6.23-rc1 after i386 setup
code rewrite in C.
Regardless, VIDEO_SELECT is stupid config option because it affects only
kernel setup code, not code which always stays in memory.
vga= always possible now which is good.

Subject: [PATCH] x86 setup: remove remnants of CONFIG_VIDEO_SELECT (read: vga=)
Impact: cleanup
Video mode selection became always possible in 2.6.23-rc1 after i386 setup
code rewrite in C.
Regardless, VIDEO_SELECT is stupid config option because it affects only
kernel setup code, not code which always stays in memory.
vga= always possible now which is good.
