We've always listened on port 501 for vgabios panic messages. In the entire

If we change the semantics of this port a little bit, it makes it possible to
use it for more interesting use-cases. I chose this approach instead of adding
a new I/O port because it avoids having a guest visible change.
This change allows single-byte access to port 501 and also uses the value
written to construct an exit code.

Applied.
