So, attached patch adds back that matrox_init is called unless you
specify `video=matrox:off' on command line. In this case, matrox can
be still initialized through offb. If you specify `video=matrox:disabled',
driver will be unavailable for offb too.

Which does not help if you have 2 Matrox boards, due to the single static
`initialized' variable.

No problem because of driver initializes ALL matroxes once matrox_init is
called, regardless of device_node contents (behavior is determined by
video=matrox:dev:X parameter).

Also, driver still does not use device_node passed to driver by offb
because of no-one told me what I can expect in that variable... Driver

You can find the PCI base addresses in there (look at atyfb_of_init() for an
example).

Unless `register_pci_region' is here, I think that I stay with current
behavior. I'm too lazy to add skipping of already registered devices
into matrox_init().
