I'm happy someone benefits from my work :)
Just some notes, I've seen you already fixed the broken include path I thought 
I fixed it already but apparently I didn't seem to have pushed it.
Aside from that I was planning to unify my current feature branches into my 
genode-trabant/master and to adapt the code to the current state of the Ada 
runtime available in Genode (I didn't touch this driver for some time so I 
have to update myself about its current state).
Furthermore I plan to document it a little more in this process.

I also found that with the current genode/master Nova seems to boot-loop when 
the debug commit is applied. I opened an issue [1] about this, but it seems 
that it still works with your version of 18.08.

Afaik the vga_log_drv is not available on UEFI since the Multiboot2 
framebuffer info is filled with UEFIs UGA/GOP framebuffer. You'd need to use 
the boot_fb with a terminal log then.
