 The cause for the black screen console seems to be that vga* ist 
 notconfigured any more in XEN3_DOM0
 
 #vga*           at pci? dev ? function ?# Needs acpi_md_vbios_reset
                                          # in acpi_wakeup.c (!xenpv)
 #genfb*         at pci? dev ? function ?# Needs acpi_md_vesa_modenum
                                          # in acpi_wakeup.c (!xenpv)
 
 in 9.99.55 vga* still attaches to the ASPEED VGA/BMC/IPMI chip.
 
 vga0 at pci42 dev 0 function 0: vendor 1a03 product 2000 (rev. 0x41)
 wsdisplay0 at vga0 kbdmux 1: console (80x25, vt100 emulation)
 
 in 9.99.95 the ASPEED2500 chip is not configured any more.
 
 ASPEED Technology ASPEED Graphics Family (VGA display, revision 0x41) at 
 pci42 dev 0 function 0 not configured
 
 As ASPEED devices are common in larger servers (BMC/IPMI support) 
 dropping vga support seems counterproductive and a functional regression.
