I guess, we could make this more precise.

Some old graphics drivers don't request their memory ranges correctly. 
It's usually a problem with hardware that has exclusive ranges, such as 
the VGA. Vga16fb doesn't request the range as it should. Someone needs 
to audit all those old drivers and fix them.
