So, there're two issues here: "code attaches and presents a device
interface," and "code actually produces usable output in text mode."

Right now (in -current), the -E2 does the former (and probably even
provides enough ioctls to get an unaccelerated FB going with it), but
doesn't do the latter.  (It tries to draw characters, but they're
non-useful.)

I suspect that it shouldn't be hard to get X working with the -E2 in
unaccelerated cfb mode, assuming the X server works at all with the
new wscons bits these days (does it?).  However, performance will
suck.
