The basic question is:

Does this device use the Intel BIOS way of reporting mode information,
or the embedded "GCT" style.

If you look in oaktrail_device.c you'll see it tries mid_chip_setup() and
then if that fails to find data it calls psb_intel_init_bios(). Which is
in use. Also if the mid style one is in use what happens if you change
mid_get_vbt_data in mid_bios.c so that it just does

	vbt->size = 0;
	return;
