efifb not detected on Intel DQ67SW

Hi-

For mostly masochistic reasons, I boot my DQ67SW box in UEFI mode.
efifb doesn't detect the anything, so I have no console until i915
loads.

Looking at the code, I'm a little confused how it's supposed to work.
AFAICT, unless there's a DMI match, then the driver will only load
ifthe boot code sets VIDEO_TYPE_EFI, but nothing sets that.

Should there be something that looks at
EFI_GRAPHICS_OUTPUT_PROTOCOL_MODE to find the frame buffer?  (Does
that not work on Apple machines?)
