      x86, setup: un-resequence mode setting for VGA 80x34 and 80x60 modes · 1e274a58

      Impact: Fixes these modes on at least one system
      
      The rewrite of the setup code into C resequenced the font setting and
      register reprogramming phases of configuring nonstandard VGA modes
      which use 480 scan lines in text mode.  However, there exists at least
      one board (Micro-Star MS-7383 version 2.0) on which this resequencing
      causes an unusable display.
      
      Revert to the original sequencing: set up 480-line mode, install the
      font, and then adjust the vertical end register appropriately.
      
      This failure was masked by the fact that the 480-line setup was broken
      until checkin 5f641356
      
       (therefore this
      is not a -stable candidate bug fix.)
