Anyhow, I spent a long time looking up what each of these offsets
were to work out what the code is configuring and eventually
replaced them with the human readable defines in video/vga.h.

Functionally there is no change but maybe it makes it a bit easier to
look at for the next person that finds themselves in here.

Tested on a real voodoo 3 on x86_64.
