That's the strange thing; if grub_efi_locate_protocol() fails to find
EFI_CONSOLE_CONTROL_PROTOCOL in grub_efi_set_text_mode(), it simply
returns. It looks as if the protocol were located (which is surprising
because it's not part of the OVMF build) and then SetMode() did the
wrong thing.

Or maybe I mis-attributed the blame to grub_efi_set_text_mode()...

Thank you!
