A slightly simpler answer: I'm running the Fedora 18 3.6 kernel, with these two patches backported:
commit f462ed939de67c20528bc08f11d2fc4f2d59c0d5 Author: Matthew Garrett <mjg@redhat.com> Date: Fri Jul 27 12:58:53 2012 -0400
efifb: Skip DMI checks if the bootloader knows what it's doing
commit a7d92035a1d64242cbc1f79577e66f230fe59732 Author: Matthew Garrett <mjg@redhat.com> Date: Fri Jul 27 17:16:17 2012 -0400
x86, EFI: Calculate the EFI framebuffer size instead of trusting the firmware
The F18 kernel has Matthew's stuff to handle PCI ROMs already backported, although it's broken; it still prioritises the IORESOURCE_ROM_SHADOW bit and returns 0xC0000 when there is a ROM from EFI. You'll have to fix that too, so it matches commit 463edf567.
It still fails the same way — the Intel driver never manages to display. So I'm back on my 3.5.0-based build until I have some time to work it out.
