Hi Kai-Heng, do you remember why you changed the order of this list
traversal?

I guess the list_add_tail() in vga_arbiter_add_pci_device() means
vga_list is generally ordered with small device numbers first and
large ones last.

So you pick the integrated GPU with the largest device number.  Are
there systems with more than one integrated GPU?  If so, I would
naively expect that in the absence of an indication otherwise, we'd
want the one with the *smallest* device number.
