[PATCH] vga: Allow writing VBE_DISPI_ID5 to ID register

[PATCH] vga: Allow writing VBE_DISPI_ID5 to ID register

[Dennis Wölfing]

The highest VBE_DISPI_INDEX_ID version supported by QEMU is
VBE_DISPI_ID5. But currently QEMU only allows writing values up to
VBE_DISPI_ID4 to the VBE_DISPI_INDEX_ID register.

As a result of this when a lower version is written to this register and
later VBE_DISPI_ID5 is written back, reads from the register will
continue to report the lower version.

Indeed SeaBIOS is doing that during VGA initialization which causes
guests to always read VBE_DISPI_ID0 instead of the correct version.
