Subject: [ 24/24] drm/nouveau: headless mode by default if pci class != vga display

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

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

From: Ben Skeggs <bskeggs@...hat.com>

This is to prevent nouveau from taking over the console on headless boards
such as Tesla.

Backport of upstream commit: e412e95a268fa8544858ebfe066826b290430d51
