Thus I can remove the nvram code from atyfb?
Why?  It works fine on lots of older machines w/ ati cards and older MacOS
versions.  If you remove it I can garrenty people will notice and
complain.
We should get rid of it for atyfb once we have DDC working. According to
Apple, all machines with ATI controllers are using DDC now. The nvram
setting would still be useful for the older video controllers.
The NVRAM code should be separated from atyfb, so it can be used by all Mac
drivers.
