[PATCH] vl: initialize displays _after_ exiting preconfiguration

[PATCH] vl: initialize displays _after_ exiting preconfiguration

[Paolo Bonzini]

Due to the renumbering of text consoles when graphical consoles are
created, init_displaystate must be called after all QemuConsoles are
created, i.e. after devices are created.

vl.c calls it from qemu_init_displays, while qmp_x_exit_preconfig is
where devices are created.  If qemu_init_displays is called before it,
the VGA graphical console does not come up.

This still seems to be missing from master, who should take care of this?
