Retested, figured with seavgabios win8 modeswitching works just fine,
even without the patch.  /me is puzzled, I'm sure I've tried that before
and it didn't work.

While wading through the source I've noticed mode_info has not only
"pages", but also "linear_pages" and "bank_pages" fields (new for vbe3).
seavgabios doesn't set them.  Should it?
