nvidia on sparc32

Dave, do you think a copy of the sparc64 vga.h will suffice?

Sure, but none of this is ever likely to work.

FWIW, all sparc32 systems with PCI have internal devices only and no
PCI add-in cards, and they'll never see an NVIDIA device.

So it's a different situation than sparc64 where someone could put an
NVIDIA card into a PCI slot and we'd like that to work.

I wish there were an easy way to eliminate nonsense configuration
combinations for a given platform.

hm, OK, thanks.  Given that it all compiles with the borrowed vga.h, I
guess the simplest thing to do is to run with that - it fixes allmodconfig,
avoids mucking up the Kconfig files and gives us wide compile coverage.

What thinkest thou?

Sure, that's fine with me.
