SubjectRe: legacy VGA device requirements (was: Exposing ROM's though sysfs)
Attached is a real world reason why we need a VGA control device.
VesaFB loads and marks the VGA screen region as reserved. The driver
does not attach to any device.

My new radeon DRM driver load and says no one is using the radeon card,
so it can drive it. Radeon loads and fails. It can attach the PCI
device but it can't reserve the memory block.

The short term fix for this is to make VesaFB aware of the PCI ROM
patch. The PCI ROM patch makes it possible to identify the boot video
device. Once VesaFB can identify the boot video device it can properly
attach itself to both the device and memory. Then DRM radeon loads
after vesafb it will find the PCI device already has a driver attached
and revert back into stealth compatibility mode.

Long term we need the vga control device and a unified DRM/fbdev.

The immediate work around is to use the radeonfb driver instead of
vesafb. The radeonfb driver marks the PCI device in use and triggers
stealth mode in radeon.
