Hi Daniel,

The patch below also works.  You can use my Tested By for it.

Thanks
Ed Tomlinson <edtoml@gmail.com>

PS. I _really_ need to get a serial console working on my i7 box.

Thanks a lot for testing, patch submitted and should get forwarded asap.

Usually this doesn't help a lot with gfx initialization issues since we do
an awful lot of setup while holding the console_lock. Which prevents any
dmesg output on any console :(
