Add an option to skip reading the mode entries from the vbt bios tables. This change enables the use of displays where the vbt table just contains inappropriate values, but either the vesa defaults or the video=... modes do something sensible with the attached display.

Can you elaborate a bit on why this is required? Is this for a machine (like the chrome machines) that just lack a vbios? Or do we fail to parse the vbt in some way? -Daniel
