Re: [PATCH v2 6/9] vgacon: clean up global screen_info instances

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

To prepare for completely separating the VGA console screen_info from
the one used in EFI/sysfb, rename the vgacon instances and make them
local as much as possible.

ia64 and arm both have confurations with vgacon and efi, but the contents

is this a typo for configurations ?

never overlaps because ia64 has no EFI framebuffer, and arm only has
vga console on legacy platforms without EFI. Renaming these is required
before the EFI screen_info can be moved into drivers/firmware.

The ia64 vga console is actually registered in two places from
setup_arch(), but one of them is wrong, so drop the one in pcdp.c and
the fix the one in setup.c to use the correct conditional.

s/the fix the/fix the

x86 has to keep them together, as the boot protocol is used to switch
between VGA text console and framebuffer through the screen_info data.

Patch looks good to me, but I'm not that familiar with some of the arches
to give a proper reviewed-by.
