Apologies for top posting !

NAK.

ARC will never have VGA console. You need to add !ARC to relevant Kconfig. 
However that approach is frowned upon in general. The current way to doing such 
things is to define a new Kconfig item which relevant arches can select.

Subject: [PATCH] arc: kernel: add default extern variable 'screen_info' in 
"setup.c"

Add default 'screen_info' just like some of other architectures (e.g.
cris, score, sh, tile), or can not pass compiling.

The related error (with allmodconfig):

  drivers/built-in.o: In function `vgacon_save_screen':
  drivers/video/console/vgacon.c:1347: undefined reference to `screen_info'
  drivers/video/console/vgacon.c:1348: undefined reference to `screen_info'
  drivers/built-in.o: In function `vgacon_resize':
  drivers/video/console/vgacon.c:1314: undefined reference to `screen_info'
  drivers/video/console/vgacon.c:1315: undefined reference to `screen_info'
  drivers/built-in.o: In function `vgacon_switch':
  drivers/video/console/vgacon.c:820: undefined reference to `screen_info'
  drivers/built-in.o:drivers/video/console/vgacon.c:840: more undefined 
references to `screen_info' follow
