git: 3630506b9dae - main - loader: implement framebuffer console

[Dan Mack]

I just builtworld/kernel:

  FreeBSD nvserve 13.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 13.0-CURRENT #7
  main-c255633-g3efe9b3e77c: Wed Jan  6 14:23:16 CST 2021
  root at nvserve:/usr/obj/usr/src/amd64.amd64/sys/GENERIC  amd64

from source ...

  VGA console is still completly broken/in-operative.
