SC_PIXEL_MODE and VESA in GENERIC?

Hello,

I propose we put:

options	SC_PIXEL_MODE
options	VESA
into GENERIC so that people with laptops & flatscreens can change 
console resolution to their screen's physical resolution directly from 
the DragonFly CD. We could also add:

options	VGA_WIDTH90

to enable 90 column console modes.

Except for some additional kernel size (~21K) I see no problem with that 
since the CD starts with a text console anyway and syscons returns 
ENODEV if the mode the user wants to set is not available with current 
hardware.

Regards,
Sascha
