Over the last week or so, I've dug around and found enough info the cg6
to be able to use some of its hardware acceleration.

In particular, I mostly know how to use the blitter.

This has finally allowed me to get rid of the execrably slow scrolling
when using a cg6 under RASTERCONSOLE.  (Indeed, on at least one of my
machines, the console scrolling is equally slow - perhaps due to an old
ROM rev.)

I've also had two crashes in the stock eraserows() routine when running
window(1) on the bare console; if they don't go away with a new kernel,
I'll also write cg6-specific support for that and possibly a few other
routines (eg copycols).

Would there be any interest in getting this code into the tree?  If so,
I'll KNFify the code - but I'd rather not put myself through that if
it's not going to be of any use.
