Wow. Did this code ever work? and, if so, why ...
Remember? VGA console never worked without PCI_ROM_RUN until Luc's proposal. Consequently, the first test got never even compiled.
If the second test fails only coreboot's own vga_tx_byte will not work. Direct VGA access especially from the payload is unharmed.
Can someone else test this?
Ronald's patch is perfectly sane, so I committed it modulo the braces. My VGA still does not work, but if it breaks someone's console (which I strongly doubt) I'll back it out again.
