Uh. So it's maybe not so pretty, but what if I just call both functions?
That way we get the vga handling through the pci one, and the "make sure
there's no fb left" through the other one. Plus comment of course.

Otherwise we'd need to somehow keep the vga stuff in the non-pci paths,
and that just feels all kinds of wrong to me.
