I know this has already been merged as 55d728a40d36 ("efi/fb: Avoid
reconfiguration of BAR that covers the framebuffer"), and I'm not
suggesting that we revert it, but I have some misgivings.

One is the "#ifndef CONFIG_X86". In principle, there is nothing arch-
specific here. I don't think it's a good idea to build in dependencies on
things like "this arch preserves (or reprograms) PCI BARs". The PCI core
may reprogram all, some, or none of the PCI BARs, depending on what (if
anything) firmware has done.

Another is the use of pci_claim_resource() to express the idea that "this
BAR can not be moved". We have IORESOURCE_PCI_FIXED for that purpose, and
previous versions of the patch used that. I understand there was some
problem with that, but I wish we could figure out and fix that problem
instead of using a different mechanism.

I'm not even completely sold on the idea that we need to prevent the BAR
from being moved. I'm not a UEFI expert, but if this requirement is in the
spec, we should reference it. If not, it should be sufficient to remember
the boot-time BAR value, match the GOP base to *that*, and map it to
whatever the current BAR value is.
