Re: [RFC patch v2] x86: Improve boot_vga/vga_default_device() for EFI

With commit b4aa0163056b6c70029b6e8619ce07c274351f42 Matthew Garret introduced a efifb vga_default_device() so that EFI systems that do not load shadow VBIOS or setup VGA get proper value for boot_vga PCI sysfs attribute on the corresponding PCI device.

I like the fact that this gets back to a single vga_default_device() implementation. But of course Matthew could easily have done this to begin with, so I would defer to his judgment about this.

I also like the fact that you do this in pci_fixup_video(), where we're already doing similar stuff. The ia64 version should be changed the same way (or better yet, consolidated) unless there's some reason they need to be different. There is a little "dig" and "hpzx1" gunk in the ia64 version that could be factored out into some sort of __weak architecture function.

Xorg is refusing to detect devices when boot_vga=0 which is the case on some EFI system (e.g. MacBookAir2,1). Xorg detects the GPU and finds the dri device but then bails out with "no devices detected".

With introduction of sysfb/simplefb/simpledrm efifb is getting obsolete while having native drivers for the GPU also makes selecting sysfb/efifb optional.

Remove the efifb implementation of vga_default_device() and initialize vgaarb's vga_default_device() with the PCI GPU that matches boot screen_info in x86's pci_fixup_video().

Notes:

• Other architectures with PCI GPU might need a similar fixup.
• If CONFIG_VGA_ARB is unset vga_default_device() is only available as a stub that returns NULL, making this adjustment insufficient. Unsetting CONFIG_VGA_ARB requires CONFIG_EXPERT=y though.
