[PATCH] video: Allow to set pure 'text' mode in case of EFI

[Dennis Chen]

Current code doesn't accept a pure text mode when booting
from UEFI firmware on i386 platform, this will result in
below error message even we already have 'set gfxpayload=text'
configured: "no suitable video mode found". This often happens
when we boot a VM which UEFI firmware doesn't include 'suitable'
video modes.

UEFI spec doesn't tell it will not support pure text mode explicitly,
if GRUB2 strictly forbid this mode that means UEFI has to provide
a so-called 'suitable video mode'.
