kernel will die on some platform when switch from vga mode to framebuffer
mode.  The reason of this bug is that bind_con_driver reset vc->vc_origin
to (unsigned long)vc->vc_screenbuf.

On vgacon vc->vc_origin is not releated to vc->vc_screenbuf,if set
vc->vc_origin to vc->vc_screenbuf,kernel will die on vc_do_resize.

static int vc_do_resize(struct tty_struct *tty, struct tty_struct *real_tty,
        struct vc_data *vc, unsigned int cols, unsigned int lines)
{
    unsigned long old_origin, new_origin, new_scr_end, rlth, rrem, err = 0;
    unsigned int old_cols, old_rows, old_row_size, old_screen_size;
    unsigned int new_cols, new_rows, new_row_size, new_screen_size;
    unsigned int end, user;
...
        end = (old_rows > new_rows) ? old_origin +
            (old_row_size * new_rows) :
            vc->vc_scr_end;

...
/*
here for a test from vgacon to framebuffer:
old_origin=0x810814a0,end=0xb00b8fa0,vc->vc_origin=0x810814a0
the code bellow will copy memory from 0x810814a0 to 0xb00b8fa0,
this will cover kernel code,kernel died here.
*/

    while (old_origin < end) {

        scr_memcpyw((unsigned short *) new_origin,
                (unsigned short *) old_origin, rlth);
        if (rrem)
            scr_memsetw((void *)(new_origin + rlth),
                    vc->vc_video_erase_char, rrem);
        old_origin += old_row_size;
        new_origin += new_row_size;
    }

...
