commit 5bd5a452662bc37c54fb6828db1a3faf87e6511c add NX protection for kernel
data. So on many machine (like my machine Aspire 4741 and other three machines I
have tested) this commit will make the BIOS NX, then when uvesafb use PMI and
try to execute NX-protected page, Oops!
This patch try to resolve it!
(I have try to let uvesafb_pan_display use v86d to do pan, but it works very
very bad, so I give it up)
