    switch vmware_vga to pci vgabios

commit 5a7ada00ba86e52b1e6639d89eb82a748e8bd474
Author: Gerd Hoffmann <kraxel at redhat.com>

    switch stdvga to pci vgabios
    
    Make stdvga provide the new vgabios binary (with pcibios support)
    using the PCI option rom bar.  Seabios will happily load it from
    there.  The new vga bios will also lookup the framebuffer address
    in pci config space, so the magic bochs lfb @ 0xe0000000 is not
    needed any more -> zap it.
    
    Without the patch:
    
      # dmesg | grep framebuffer
      vesafb: framebuffer at 0xe0000000, mapped to 0xf7e80000, using 1875k, total 8192k
      # lspci -vs2
      00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Technical Corp. Device 1111 (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
    	Subsystem: Qumranet, Inc. Device 1100
    	Physical Slot: 2
    	Flags: fast devsel
    	Memory at f0000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=8M]
    	Expansion ROM at <unassigned> [disabled]
    
    With patch applied:
    
      # dmesg | grep framebuffer
      vesafb: framebuffer at 0xf0000000, mapped to 0xf7e80000, using 1875k, total 8192k
      # lspci -vs2
      00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Technical Corp. Device 1111 (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
    	Subsystem: Qumranet, Inc. Device 1100
    	Physical Slot: 2
    	Flags: fast devsel
    	Memory at f0000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=8M]
    	Expansion ROM at f0800000 [disabled] [size=64K]
    
    cheers,
