Subject: [ 21/42] drm/i915: quirk away broken OpRegion VBT

3.0-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@...ll.ch>

commit 25e341cfc33d94435472983825163e97fe370a6c upstream.

Somehow the BIOS manages to screw things up when copying the VBT
around, because the one we scrap from the VBIOS rom actually works.
