The list of dependencies here is phrased as an opt-out, but this is missing
a lot of architectures that don't actually support VGA consoles, and some
of the entries are stale:
- powerpc used to support VGA consoles in the old arch/ppc codebase, but
the merged arch/powerpc never did
- arm lists footbridge, integrator and netwinder, but netwinder is actually
part of footbridge, and integrator does not appear to have an actual
VGA hardware, or list it in its ATAG or DT.
Integrator/AP has PCI, and I have had PCI VGA cards plugged in to that
hardware when I've had it.
Provided any platform sets up PCI in a compatible way, and can run the
VGA's BIOS to initialise the card, then vgacon is supportable.
