Yes, my patch will only works *after* the module gets loaded successfully.

But generally, vgaarb will select a default boot device before my patch taking into effect.

I means that vgaarb will select a default boot device by calling vga_arbiter_add_pci_device() function.


In practice, I still not notice any obvious problems.

I'm lack the knowledge about the boot-time console,

what is the potential problems with such a condition?

Yes, my approach will not works until the device driver kernel module 
gets loaded successfully.

So what's the problem with such a situation, do you see something weird ?
