Summary: fbcon cursor disappered after switch to 512 consolefont
A regression.
The patch for the issue is below. It is very similar to
Peter Hanzel's patch already posted to the bugzilla
but it honors vc_scrl_erase_char for scrolling.

Krzysztof

Adjust and honor the vc_scrl_erase_char for
256 and 512 character fonts.
It fixes the issue with disappearing cursor during scrolling
(kernel bug #11258). The issue was reported and tracked
by Peter Hanzel.
