3.2-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.the same as for 3.3: This patch would require exporting 'pcibios_enabled' to not break building uvesafb as a module. As Alan did not agree with this approach it is not suitable for stable as is.Oops, sorry about that, now removed, thanks for letting me know.
Actually for the backport its probably the right thing to do - its simple, clear and slightly ugly, but its fairly provably safe.
