This patch (relative to previous one) basicaly makes it work with a big
ugly kludge (see "| 0xff000000" line).  The problem seems to be that alpha
channel is set to 0 for all return values of grub_video_map_color() after
gfxterm initialization.  I checked the few places in the code where those
variables are zeroed, but to no avail.  I assume the problem is just they
haven't been initialised, but I just have no idea where they're supposed to.

Any clues?
