I thought of the same thing some years ago, but interactive operations didn't
work very well if I used the extra column. I don't know if this is specific to
some BIOSes, though. Anyway, I don't think this is very important.

Summary: vga: 79 vs 80 columns
Original Submission: It seems to me that grub never uses the rightmost column
of the vga screen. At least it wraps after the 79th column
when a kernel with a long command line is being booted and
this is reported in the top of the screen, and when using
the cat builtin to show a file.
Patch attached, it works for me and I haven't noticed any
side effects. I tested the two situations mentioned above
with 79, 80, 81 char long strings and it was always ok.
