[PATCH 2/2] vfio/pci: Remove console drivers

Console drivers can create conflicts with PCI resources resulting in
userspace getting mmap failures to memory BARs.  This is especially evident
when trying to re-use the system primary console for userspace drivers.
Attempt to remove all nature of conflicting drivers as part of our VGA
initialization.
