KVM: Don't pre-reserve xarray entries when storing empty/NULL attributesgrafted
Skip the xarray reservation loop when clearing all memory attributes, as storing NULL only erases the entry and never needs to allocate, so no reservation (and no cleanup of a failed one) is required in that case.

+======================================
+Parallel port LCD/Keypad Panel support
+======================================
+
+Some LCDs allow you to define up to 8 characters, mapped to ASCII
+characters 0 to 7. The escape code to define a new character is
+'\e[LG' followed by one digit from 0 to 7, representing the character
+number, and up to 8 couples of hex digits terminated by a semi-colon
+(';'). Each couple of digits represents a line, with 1-bits for each
+illuminated pixel with LSB on the right. Lines are numbered from the
+top of the character to the bottom. On a 5x7 matrix, only the 5 lower
+bits of the 7 first bytes are used for each character. If the string
+is incomplete, only complete lines will be redefined. Here are some
+examples::
+
+ printf "\e[LG0010101050D1F0C04;" => 0 = [enter]
+ printf "\e[LG1040E1F0000000000;" => 1 = [up]
+ printf "\e[LG2000000001F0E0400;" => 2 = [down]
+ printf "\e[LG3040E1F001F0E0400;" => 3 = [up-down]
+ printf "\e[LG40002060E1E0E0602;" => 4 = [left]
+ printf "\e[LG500080C0E0F0E0C08;" => 5 = [right]
+ printf "\e[LG60016051516141400;" => 6 = "IP"
+
+ printf "\e[LG00103071F1F070301;" => big speaker
+ printf "\e[LG00002061E1E060200;" => small speaker
