Fix these issues on i945 targets (X60/T60/macbook21)
<ul>
<li>
- linux 3.18 broke acpi brightness on i945 (X60/T60). Libreboot reverted to legacy brightness for now. Look into why it
- broke on 3.18 (do a git bisect).

- <li>
- i945: fix VRAM size (currently 8MB. should be 64MB).

HIGH PRIORITY! <b>i945: Linux 3.19 doesn't boot. (probably affects T60/macbook21).
<a href="https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=93171">Preliminary bug report (kernel, linux)</a>
- -- bogus. Based on earlier immature reports.
- -- the error message is probably not the issue, but something else. do a bisect of linux.
- Also, does the issue still occur on lenovobios? (no, they don't, according to Paul Menzel)
