    x86/setup: don't relocate the VGA hole.
    
    Copying the contents of the VGA hole is at best pointless and at worst
    dangerous.  Booting Xen on Xen, it causes a very long delay as each
    byte is referred to qemu.
    
    Since we were already discarding the first 1MB of the relocated area,
    just avoid copying it in the first place.
