Currently it is impossible to control upper limit of rows/columns values based on amount of memory reserved for the graphical screen, for resize_screen() calls vc->vc_sw->con_resize() only if vc->vc_mode is not already KD_GRAPHICS
Honestly, the saner approach would seem to be to simply error out if vc_mode is KD_GRAPHICS.
Doing VT_RESIZE while in KD_GRAPHICS mode seems _very_ questionable, and is clearly currently very buggy.
So why not just say "that clearly already doesn't work, so make it explicitly not permitted"?
