Add cursor enable/disable, very useful if you wish a full screen boot
logo.
Cursor can be disabled from kernel command line:
video=pxafb:nocursor
or from sysfs interface:
echo 1 > /sys/module/pxafb/parameters/nocursor

Maybe this should be a generic option? Or maybe issue ESC [ 25 l
to disable the cursor if you're wanting to turn it off from userspace.

This is useful if you have a full screen boot logo. How I can issue
ESC [ 25 l at boot time?
Without this patch the full screen boot logo is corrupted in the upper
left corner with a little box containing the blinking cursor.

The reason you have a cursor is because you are using the framebuffer
console. Do you need fbcon ?

Yes. During the system update process on in the production stage a
console is very useful.
