[Bug 79038] [Regression][[i945] Crashes and bad performance on Lenovo X60 with coreboot and native graphics init

--- Comment #9 from info at gluglug.org.uk ---
My idea was to detect coreboot on the i945 northbridge platforms when native
gfx init is in use, and patch around it.

This idea is based on Paul's idea of linux "no regression policy". commit
17fec8a as per bug report is what broke compatibility; my idea would be for
linux to selectively revert those changes for i945 platform when native gfx is
in use, so as to maintain previous (pre-3.12 kernel) compatibility.

(some users are already sticking to 3.10, or manually reverting 17fec8a and
compiling the resulting kernel)
