Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Colored kernel output (run2)
Colored kernel message output (1/2)
This patch makes it possible to give kernel messages a selectable
color. It can be chosen at compile time, overridden at boot time,
and changed at run time.
There is no way to disable this option. It would only add ugly
ifdefs, and the default color is the one that vt.c used for all the
past years anyway, so apart from the config option, nothing changes
for the conservative user.

+ This option defines with which color kernel messages will be
+ printed to the console.
+
+ The value you need to enter here is the value is composed
+ (OR-ed) of a foreground and a background color.
+
+ Foreground:
+ 0x00 = black, 0x08 = dark gray,
+ 0x01 = red, 0x09 = light red,
+ 0x02 = green, 0x0A = light green,
+ 0x03 = brown, 0x0B = yellow,
+ 0x04 = blue, 0x0C = light blue,
+ 0x05 = magenta, 0x0D = light magenta,
+ 0x06 = cyan, 0x0E = light cyan,
+ 0x07 = gray, 0x0F = white,
+
+ (Foreground colors 0x08 to 0x0F do not work when a VGA
+ console font with 512 glyphs is used.)
+
+ Background:
+ 0x00 = black, 0x40 = blue,
+ 0x10 = red, 0x50 = magenta,
+ 0x20 = green, 0x60 = cyan,
+ 0x30 = brown, 0x70 = gray,
+
+ For example, 0x1F would yield white on red.
