It only leads to bloodshed and tears - we don't bother to restore a working legacy vga hw setup. On haswell with the new dynamic power well code this leads to even more hilarity since for some configurations the hardware is simply no longer there. The actual implementation is a bit a hack - we realy on fbcon to kick out the vgacon. To make this also work with I915_FBDEV=n (or FBCON=n) and VGA_CONSOLE=y i915 already unregisters the vga console manually early in the driver load sequence.
