The problem with this patch is that it won't handle correctly the
following case: host and guest x86, host is a MacOS host, guest is a
Windows guest with 16bpp resolution.  The cause of the problem is that
Windows uses 565 RGB for 16bpp while MacOS seems to be unable not only
to render but even to convert this resolution into another.

Due to the lack of alternatives I suggest to introduce the following
hack to workaround the problem:

---

diff --git a/hw/vga.c b/hw/vga.c
index 2084ff4..b742c78 100644
--- a/hw/vga.c

Apart from this issue the cocoa patch is fine, you can add my signed off
line to it.
