Ok I've tested on Ironlake, Cantiga, Crestline, and Pineview so far and
things look good.  I ran testdisplay both with and without VGA
attached (the ILK has a eDP panel), and tried S3 and S4 both with and
without VGA both in the console and in X.

There was one issue on Pineview where the VGA seemed to get
"forgotten", but I haven't isolated it yet.  I canceled testdisplay
part way through and that seemed to confuse fbcon about what was there.

I also see an issue with 1280x800 modes across all platforms, but that
may just be the monitor, I need to test more.

I'm testing Montara (that's 855 for you youngsters) now, but it's slow
so not all my builds have completed there yet.

Overall though:
