Summary:  vga: 79 vs 80 columns

Original Submission:  It seems to me that grub never uses the rightmost column
of the vga screen. At least it wraps after the 79th column
when a kernel with a long command line is being booted and
this is reported in the top of the screen, and when using
the cat builtin to show a file.

Patch attached, it works for me and I haven't noticed any
side effects. I tested the two situations mentioned above
with 79, 80, 81 char long strings and it was always ok.
