It turns out that there's an ibm,form-feed property; this modified patch uses
it in the pSeries-specific progress routine.  This patch also checks the
number of rows and the specific width of each row (the second row on power5
systems can actually hold 80 characters).  If the displayed text is too wide
for the physical display, it can be viewed in the ASM menus, or by selecting
option 14 on the op panel.
