- TODO: this fix in linux is a workaround, the real bug is in coreboot. (without the patch,
- 3.19/higher doesn't boot on coreboot/libreboot i945 with native graphics, but does boot
- on lenovobios with 3.19/higher - it probably also boots with coreboot+vgarom, since
- the bug is in the video init code.
