What VGA code ?? The VGA bios emulation stuff in the freebios tree ?? How does moving ipl.S to 32-bit have anything to do with VGA ??

This was the new vga code that I wrote for a vga text console (not in the repository yet). There were a few registers that had to be set in the sis630 to turn on vga.
Translating it was not _really_ required. I am more familiar with programming in 32-bit, though, and had other changes I needed to add, in addition to the vga, that were better done in 32-bit. I also had some problems with the fixed address location and hard jumps to fixed addresses in ipl.S, which were avoided by just putting it in the .inc stack in crt0.s.
