Align VGA buffers
Some "hardware" (such as kvm on linux 3.2) would hang when transferring
between video memory and unaligned main memory. This also allows
better optimized transfers anyway.
Thanks Petter Reinholdtsen for the report and patient tests.
* console-client/vga-support.c (vga_state): Force maximum alignment of
`videomem' and `fontmem' fields.
