Basic braille screen reader support

This adds a minimalistic braille screen reader support.  This is meant to
be used by blind people e.g.  on boot failures or when / cannot be mounted
etc and thus the userland screen readers can not work.

+
+          To actually enable it, you need to pass option

+          to the kernel. Options are the same as for serial console.
