Heh, the "warning" that is output to dmesg by this is:
[ 20.586867] vga16fb: initializing
[ 20.586870] vga16fb: mapped to 0xffff8800000a0000
[ 20.586874] vga16fb: unable to register framebuffer
[ 20.587074] vga16fb: probe of vga16fb.0 failed with error -22
I can make a new patch to dampen the messages, but I went for as small
a change as possible. If it's decided that we should go this route,
then I can submit a new patch.
