vga: Use linear mapping + dirty logging in chain 4 memory access mode
Most VGA memory access modes require MMIO handling as they demand weird
logic to get a byte from or into the video RAM. However, there is one
exception: chain 4 mode with all memory planes enabled for writing. This
mode actually allows lineary mapping, which can then be combined with
dirty logging to accelerate KVM.
This patch accelerates specifically VBE accesses like they are used by
grub in graphical mode. Not only the standard VGA adapter benefits from
this, also vmware and spice in VGA mode.
