[PATCH -mm] uvesafb: Don't access VGA registers directly whenrunning on non-x86

From: Michal Januszewski
Date: Tue Sep 11 2007 - 19:10:45 EST


The VGA registers are only available at their legacy IO locations on x86.
Don't try to access them when running on other arches.

Note that the code accessing them directly is just an optimization (limits
slow BIOS function calls). We don't lose any functionality by using
BIOS calls instead of it on non-x86.
