+"The arm64 port doesn't provide a screen_info struct for console support
+which leads to a build failure with some configurations:
+
+  drivers/video/console/vgacon.c:820: undefined reference to `screen_info'
+
+This patch adds an empty declaration of screen_info to fix the build
+problem. Some additional runtime code is needed to actually make it
+useful."
