[SeaBIOS] [PATCH 2/2] vgabios: Add support handling text mode attributes while in graphics mode

[Kevin O'Connor]

Add support for simple text mode attribute emulation while in graphics
mode.  This seems to help with text highlighting and colors with a few
boot-loaders.  Turn it on only for CBVGA vgabios.
