| New version of Greg's original patch per review comments from Bjorn:
|
|
| Fix default VGA console on SN platforms. Since SN firmware does not pass
| enough ACPI information to identify VGA cards and the associated legacy IO/MEM
| addresses, we rely on the EFI PCDP table. Since the linux pcdp driver is
| optional (and overridden if console= directives are used) SN duplicates a
| portion of the pcdp scan code to identify if there is a usable console VGA
| adapter.
|
| To avoid also dup'ing PCDP structures, drivers/firmware/pcdp.h is moved to
| include/linux/pcdp.h.

This does fix the problem I was experiencing earlier while booting with
console= boot options.
