That looks harmless; I'll check with the ACPI experts though.

I'm assuming this is a regression; can you find a version that it worked
on without any other changes in the environment? I'm concerned that
you're loading both vesafb and then switching to the drm fb, which
always seems fraught with peril to me.

And, of course, a bisect would be most helpful if possible. I can't
think of any i915-specific changes that would cause fb mappings to go wrong.
