Use the VGA start address for fast VirtualConsole scrolling.

Browse source 
Instead of memcpy'ing the entire screen every time we press enter at the
bottom, use the VGA start address register to make a "view" onto the
underlying memory that moves downward as we scroll.

Eventually we run out of memory and have to reset to the start of the
buffer. That's when we memcpy everything. It would be cool if there was
some way to get the hardware to act like a ring buffer with automatic
wrapping here but I don't know how to do that.
