This is what I suspect. I had some success with the generic VGA disable
code but our mileage may vary.

How do we deal with interrupts from VGA cards that we don't have a 
driver for? We don't service interrupts in this case either.
Can't we unregister the interrupt handler until everything
is set up right? Maybe a dump idea...
Also there is a generic VGA register to control interrupts.
