 For 1.75 devices we should set the console font on the kernel command line
 to avoid the sudden small font being used followed by a reset to a large
 font once the init scripts decide to do this.

 On an XO-1 the parameter "fbcon=font:SUN12x22" is used to set this as part
 of the olpc.fth file.  {This also presumes that this font is compiled into
 the kernel.}

 Seen in 1.75 os31.
