vgabios: Don't use extra stack if it appears a modern OS is in use
If the last mode set (while not in vm86 mode) was done from a VBE mode
set call then disable the extra stack. This works under the premise
that only a modern OS would invoke the VBE mode changing facilities
and a modern OS would always call the vgabios with sufficient stack
space.
This is an ugly hack to work around a problem Windows Vista (and
possibly later Windows releases) has with the VGA BIOS using a stack
in the e-segment.
