[PATCH 1/2 v2] vgaarb: Don't default exclusively to first video device with mem+io

With commit 20cde694027e boot video device detection was moved from
efifb to x86 and ia64 pci/fixup.c.

For dual-GPU Apple computers above change represents a regression as
code in efifb did forcefully override vga_default_device while the
merge did not (vgaarb happens prior to PCI fixup).

To improve on initial device selection by vgaarb (it cannot know if
PCI device not behind bridges see/decode legacy VGA I/O or not), move
the screen_info based check from pci_video_fixup to vgaarb's init
function and use it to refine/override decision taken while adding
the individual PCI VGA devices.
This way PCI fixup has no reason to adjust vga_default_device
anymore but can depend on its value for flagging shadowed VBIOS.

This has the nice benefit of removing duplicated code but does
introduce a #if defined() block in vgaarb.
Not all architectures have screen_info and would cause compile to
fail without it.

Andreas, does this work properly for you, including the improvement
on i915 complaint about VBIOS going from KERN_ERR to KERN_INFO?


Other arches using PCI and vgaarb that have screen_info may want
to be added to the #if defined() block or even introduce a new
CONFIG_HAVE_SCREEN_INFO or similar...
