Re: [PATCH 0/2] x86, ia64: Move EFI_FB vga_default_device() initialization to pci_vga_fixup()

dmesg with your patches and vga_set_default_device commented out
(after "vgaarb: Boot video device...") as otherwise the system won't
boot.

dmesg | grep vgaarb
[    1.340118] vgaarb: PCI:0000:00:02.0 PCI_COMMAND=0007
[    1.340119] vgaarb: Boot video device: PCI:0000:00:02.0
[    1.340120] vgaarb: device added:
PCI:0000:00:02.0,decodes=io+mem,owns=io+mem,locks=none
[    1.340130] vgaarb: PCI:0000:01:00.0 PCI_COMMAND=0006
[    1.340132] vgaarb: PCI:0000:01:00.0, bridge PCI:0000:00:01.0
PCI_BRIDGE_CONTROL=0000
[    1.340133] vgaarb: device added:
PCI:0000:01:00.0,decodes=io+mem,owns=none,locks=none
[    1.340135] vgaarb: loaded
[    1.340136] vgaarb: bridge control possible 0000:01:00.0
[    1.340136] vgaarb: no bridge control possible 0000:00:02.0
[    3.798430] vgaarb: device changed decodes:
PCI:0000:00:02.0,olddecodes=io+mem,decodes=none:owns=io+mem


If the line is not commented out then vgaarb simply declares the first
(enabled) device to be the default one, which is incorrect. And the
overwrite logic in pci_fixup_video is not triggered, since a default
device has already been set.
