It is not possible to reuse the pcdisplay_{put,get}wschar functions
here, but it should be easy to implement those access ops using the
"mem" and "type" members of struct vgascreen.
While there, not only vga_raster.c has this problem - probably all other
graphical frame buffer drivers in the tree have not been updated when the
scrolling support went in.
