[PATCH] arm64: add screen_info for console support

The arm64 port doesn't provide a screen_info struct for console support
which leads to a build failure with some configurations:

  drivers/video/console/vgacon.c:820: undefined reference to `screen_info'

This patch adds an empty declaration of screen_info to fix the build
problem. Some additional runtime code is needed to actually make it
useful.
