VESA (vesa BIOS driver not included!)

Please reference vesa.h and testvl.c for sample code.
I've currently tested these functions on an ATI VGAWonder with 512k
memory and a plain ol' VGA monitor. They work fine, albeit slow. My
VGA card is unfortunately one with only 1 page register and a 64k byte
page size. This means that copying between pages means copying to
system memory, changing the page, and copying back. I haven't
experimented with 128k addressing or non-chain-by-4 (i.e. planar
memory) mode copying yet, but I'm going to. I suspect that one or both
of these methods will allow us to do fast copies between pages.
