I was thinking of checking whether pdev is a VGA class device and whether
it decodes vga access, and in that case automatically calling
kick_out_vgacon from remove_conflicting_pci_framebuffer. Since that's what
drivers want anyway, and those who don't can open code it.

Or is there an issue with that?
