Subject: [PATCH 7/7] vgacon: remove prehistoric macros

These macros:
* CAN_LOAD_EGA_FONTS
* CAN_LOAD_PALETTE
* TRIDENT_GLITCH
* VGA_CAN_DO_64KB
* SLOW_VGA
are either always set or always unset. They come from the linux 2.1
times. And given nobody switched them to some configurable options, I
assume nobody actually uses them.

So remove the macros and leave in place appropriate branches of the
conditional code.

 =======================    and Martin Mares <mj@...ey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz>
 
    Linux now has some ability to manipulate cursor appearance. Normally, you
-can set the size of hardware cursor (and also work around some ugly bugs in
-those miserable Trident cards--see #define TRIDENT_GLITCH in drivers/video/
-vgacon.c). You can now play a few new tricks:  you can make your cursor look
-like a non-blinking red block, make it inverse background of the character it's
-over or to highlight that character and still choose whether the original
-hardware cursor should remain visible or not.  There may be other things I have
-never thought of.

    The cursor appearance is controlled by a "<ESC>[?1;2;3c" escape sequence
 where 1, 2 and 3 are parameters described below. If you omit any of them,
