There's no reason to assume VGA text mode 3 to be unconditionally available. With the addition of booting Xen itself in PVH mode there's a boot path that explicitly short-circuits all the real-mode logic, including the VGA detection. Leave the default user selected mode as text mode 3 in boot_vid_mode, but do not populate boot_vid_info with any default settings. It will either be populated by the real-mode video detection code, or left zeroed in case real-mode code is skipped. Note that only PVH skips the real-mode portion of the boot trampoline, otherwise the only way to skip it is to set `no-real-mode` on the command line, and the description for the option already notes that VGA would be disabled as a result of skipping real-mode bootstrap. This fixes Xen incorrectly reporting: (XEN) Video information: (XEN) VGA is text mode 80x25, font 8x16 When booted as a PVH guest.
