Strange - inverting characters still works OK even when the cursor
reverse is broken. Seems revc isn't used for anything by the current
console code (at least when acceleration is used. Nah, noacel had no
effect on this either).
Right now I'm unable to reproduce the 'hardware cursor black' phenomenon.
I've added a wait_for_idle(fb) at the end of set_cursor_color and that
didn't make matters worse, but it's a bit hard to fix something that isn't
broken :-)
