Subject: x86, setup (2.6.30-stable) fix 80x34 and 80x60 console modes
To: stable@kernel.org
Cc: "H. Peter Anvin" <hpa@linux.intel.com>, x86@kernel.org, linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org, Research.Support@ualberta.ca

From: Marc Aurele La France <root@ualberta.ca>

Note: this is not in upstream since upstream is not affected due to the
      new "BIOS glovebox" subsystem.

As coded, most INT10 calls in video-vga.c allow the compiler to assume
EAX remains unchanged across them, which is not always the case.  This
triggers an optimisation issue that causes vga_set_vertical_end() to be
called with an incorrect number of scanlines.  Fix this by beefing up
the asm constraints on these calls.
