Looks like it worked at some point:
commit ca896ef389fc44c7a673d1bd2b94823e28da37a1

cirrusfb: proper "Attribute Controller Toggle Readback" register
behaviour
(Marcelo Tosatti)
git-svn-id: svn://svn.savannah.nongnu.org/qemu/trunk@4386
c046a42c-6fe2-441c
The cirrusfb Linux driver uses the toggle readback register to determine
whether to flip 0xC30 to data/address mode.
Without proper implementation the VGA mode will be erroneously set to
blank resulting in crashes when starting BITBLT.
3d4h index 24h (R): Attribute Controller Toggle Readback Register
bit 7 If set the Attribute Controller will next access a data register, if
clear it'll access the index register
