Apparently UVD doesn't yet work everywhere - so allow it to be

future as well.

Patch attached as well as inline below.

The patch shouldn't be necessary because just removing the firmware should have pretty much the same effect.

On the other hand we only have three reports of failed VCPU bootup, while it just seems to be a setup problems in two of those cases (identical hardware seems to work for other people).

The only case where we indeed seems to have a problem are Macs with integrated cards, and we can always just blacklist those if the problem doesn't seems to be solvable.

Returning -EINVAL here results in rather misleading dmesg output I
think. This should probably be handled more gracefully.

Anyway, the return statement would need to be indented per the kernel
coding style, and please leave empty lines before the if and after the
return.
