3.17-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@xxxxxxxx>

commit 0485c9dc24ec0939b42ca5104c0373297506b555 upstream.

It's magic, but it seems to work.

This fixes a regression introduced in

commit 1bb9e632a0aeee1121e652ee4dc80e5e6f14bcd2

    drm/i915: Only unbind vgacon, not other console drivers

My best guess is that the vga fbdev driver falls over if we rip out
parts of vgacon. Hooray.
