[PATCH] arch: x86: make video init optional (expert)

["Enrico Weigelt, metux IT consult" <info@metux.net>]

As x86 is becoming more widespread in embedded devices, that don't have
any video adapter at all, make it possible to opt out from video init on
bootup (expert option). Also useful for minimized paravirtualized kernels.

Most users wanna leave this enabled and shouldn't touch it, thus defaulting
to y and hiding behind CONFIG_EXPERT.
