In the end as I had to do a build today for something else I enabled
this at the same time.
I booted it on my Arndale, which is hooked up for serial only and not
VGA (and in any case I don't think the bootloader does graphics), and it
didn't seem to regress anything so I've pushed the change to pkg-kernel
svn. It would still be worth trying it on a system with graphics though
if you are able.
