Tom 785c10fda9 Kernel: Add option to force using only the bootloader framebuffer
This allows forcing the use of only the framebuffer set up by the
bootloader and skips instantiating devices for any other graphics
cards that may be present.

About

SerenityOS is a love letter to '90s user interfaces with a custom Unix-like core. It flatters with sincerity by stealing beautiful ideas from various other systems.

Roughly speaking, the goal is a marriage between the aesthetic of late-1990s productivity software and the power-user accessibility of late-2000s *nix. This is a system by us, for us, based on the things we like.

You can watch videos of the system being developed on YouTube:
