    vga: check the validation of memory addr when draw text
    
    Start a vm with qemu-kvm -enable-kvm -vnc :66 -smp 1 -m 1024 -hda
    redhat_5.11.qcow2  -device pcnet -vga cirrus,
    then use VNC client to connect to VM, and excute the code below in guest
    OS will lead to qemu crash:
    
    int main()
     {
        iopl(3);
        srand(time(NULL));
        int a,b;
        while(1){
            a = rand()%0x100;
            b = 0x3c0 + (rand()%0x20);
            outb(a,b);
        }
        return 0;
    }
    
    The above code is writing the registers of VGA randomly.
    We can write VGA CRT controller registers index 0x0C or 0x0D
    (which is the start address register) to modify the
    the display memory address of the upper left pixel
    or character of the screen. The address may be out of the
    range of vga ram. So we should check the validation of memory address
    when reading or writing it to avoid segfault.
