Reserve the first page of stolen memory right after initializing the mm allocator. This means that we won't inherit the FB in case the BIOS decides to put it at the start of stolen. IMHO, avoiding constant screen flickering is more important than BIOS framebuffer inheritance. TODO: the goal is to ask everybody with screen flickering problems to test this patch. Hopefully we'll be able to add a bunch of Bugzilla tags here before merging it.
