A global boolean variable "vga_interface_created"(declared in softmmu/globals.c)
has been used to track the creation of vga interface. If the vga flag is passed
in the command line "default_vga"(declared in softmmu/vl.c) variable is set to 0.
To warn user, the condition checks if vga_interface_created is false
and default_vga is equal to 0. If "-vga none" is passed, this patch will not warn the
user regarding the creation of VGA device.
The warning "A -vga option was passed but this
machine type does not use that option; no VGA device has been created"
is logged if vga flag is passed but no vga device is created.
This patch has been tested for x86_64, i386, sparc, sparc64 and arm boards.
