PATCH v2 1/1 crownbay.conf: add kernel parameters for EMGD video acceleration

From: Nitin A Kamble <[email protected]>

This is recommended in the EMGD User Guide.

My understanding is the emgd kernel driver need to allocate memory dynamically, and the "vmalloc=256MB" parameter ensures enough will be available for the driver.

OK, this explains the change to vmalloc.

Why the change of vga=current and the drop of video=vesafb ?

Darren,
Good catch. I changed this for cleanup, but now I see that it affects the splash screen. So I will resend the commit by dropping these extra changes.

Thanks,
Nitin
