I realize this patch already landed, but I wanted to remind folks to
use the check_*_overflow() helpers, which can make a lot of this kind
of stuff easier to deal with.

For example, in this case, I think visual_init() could likely be changed
to return success/failure and do all the sanity checking:

	if (check_shl_overflow(vc->vc_cols, 1, &vc->vc_size_row) ||
	    check_mul_overflow(vc->vc_rows, vc->vc_size_row, &vc->vc_screenbuf_size))
		return -EINVAL;
