Not really my area, so bare with me if this is obviously not
possible :) If using DUMMY_CONSOLE, can we trigger a save_screen
/ resize? If so, we'd reach here with vga_si=NULL.

I think it cannot happen because the only way that anything calls
into vgacon.c is through the "conswitchp = &vga_con;" that now happens
at the same time as the "vga_si = &screen_info;". It's definitely
possible that I'm missing something as well here.
