Actually - don't worry about that. Even when passing QEMU a bit-depth of 
16 on the command line, it seems to be clamped internally to 15. It is 
possible to override it back to 16 using a debugger, and that boots 
HelenOS fine albeit with a lovely blue tinge ;)  I suspect that's 
because of the bit alignments similar to
