If state->membase is zero, then ioremap() will return NULL. If ioremap() returns NULL then restore_vga() should cleanup and return 1. Oh... I see what is happening. save_vga() sets this value using it's own heuristics, when VGA_SAVE_FONTS is set, but in a way that won't work in multi-domain PCI situations. So we need to set this up in the drivers just like we do for the 'vgabase' member. I'll work on some patches to fix this.
