Subject: [PATCH 5/5] vga: make sure vga register setup for vbe stays intact
 (CVE-2016-3712).

Call vbe_update_vgaregs() when the guest touches GFX, SEQ or CRT
registers, to make sure the vga registers will always have the
values needed by vbe mode.  This makes sure the sanity checks
applied by vbe_fixup_regs() are effective.

Without this guests can muck with shift_control, can turn on planar
vga modes or text mode emulation while VBE is active, making qemu
take code paths meant for CGA compatibility, but with the very
large display widths and heigts settable using VBE registers.

Which is good for one or another buffer overflow.  Not that
critical as they typically read overflows happening somewhere
in the display code.  So guests can DoS by crashing qemu with a
segfault, but it is probably not possible to break out of the VM.
