drivers/xgi: Fix legacy VGA text mode initialization
TEST: Booted KFSN4-DRE with on-board XGI Volari Z9s Initial text from coreboot appeared, and the Linux console was displayed immediately at the start of kernel initialization. After boot was complete the text mode console continued to behave normally.
SeaBIOS does not currently make use of the legacy VGA text-mode display.
