Well damn, we've let this slide for too long.
Guys, 2.6.22 is days away. Do we think that the below is safe to merge
now?
Add Daniel, this does fix things for you, doesn't it?
From: "Jan Beulich" <jbeulich@...ell.com>

section and (b) protected by a check of a variable (vbe_version) that would
get initialized only when a VESA mode was selected on the command line.
