I'm not fan of the config space option .. I don't like vendor specific
stuff in PCI config space. I prefer adding a DISPI VBE register since
we never compile that out (despite the ifdef's being still around) do

I've tried to engage with the Bochs folks on their mailing list to make
sure they agree in principle at least but have had no reply yet.
Cheers,
Ben.
