I applied this patch but as there is opposition against exporting
'pcibios_enabled' and otherwise the building uvesafb as a module would
be broken I reverted it for this merge window, sorry. If you get this
solved I'd like to push it in some -rc (as well as in stable).
Best regards,
Florian Tobias Schandinat
