The long term aim is to implement a thin graphics card driver in the
kernel, and then port framebuffer and DRM code to that. Doing it
effectively requires knowing which PCI configuration registers are
relevant for the hardware, which is possibly easier said than done.

Might be easier for the moment, though I agree that it's less than
ideal.
