vt idle powers down GPU but leaves DCON alive

Description

An XO-1 regression from 8.2 is that previously, idling on the virtual terminal resulted in the screen being partially turned off (some proportion of characters mysteriously disappearing).

On F11 it "works better" in that the GPU actually gets powered down in this state, but we're left with the DCON running, resulting in the scary DCON death pattern on the screen.
