If a machine needs one of these sets, then it's no more broken when it 
has the other than if it has none. Making the calls in-kernel is 
inherently more dangerous than making them in userspace - if the video 
BIOS makes calls to unmapped code, then a SIGILL in vbetool is less of 
an issue than hitting an illegal instruction in the kernel. This is a 
safer default.
