Ah, right, there are secondary qxl cards (without the vga compat bits).
We should skip the call in that case (likewise for the cleanups).

Well, with intel vgpu everything works fine with this patch. Probably
i915 skips direct vga register access in case vga_get fails (because qxl
grabed them first).
In any case I'd prefer to fail qxl initialization over continuing
despite vga_get() having failed. The failure mode is rather awkward:
qemu thinks the qxl card is in vga mode while the guest kernel thinks
qxl is in native mode. Guest keeps queuing commands until the ring is
full while qemu never takes them out, so at some point the guest kernel
blocks forever in qxl_ring_push().
cheers,
Gerd
