The merit of this patch was that I could test a lot of functionality of
this  driver without having access to a machine with a built-in mgag200.
Such servers tend not to be home office friendly ;)
Instead I was able to pull a vintage g200 discrete PCI card from my 
collection and shove it into a test machine.

So there was some merit to have this patch and it was small enough to
preserve it.

Cheers,
