UBUNTU: SAUCE: vesafb: Set mtrr:3 (write-combining) as default

We had this setting from Oneiric to Saucy[1]. In Saucy it was part
of the combined patch to make vesafb a module, which was unnessesary
in Trusty as we moved back to built-in.
Was added back in Trusty but again lost after Vivid.

It will still be possible to disable mtrr by putting
  video=vesafb:nomtrr or video=vesafb:mtrr:<x>
on the kernel command-line but without that knowledge the default
will be noticably slower (especially on higher resolutions).
