VGA shows up as a PCI device under qemu. Is there a reason why making the LFB part of a PCI bar of the VGA device will not work? Doing it that way seems like a simpler solution. It's also probably what real modern machines do.
-vga std is not a PCI device, therefore no BAR. Incidentally, we have a regression where VBE is not detected with qemu-0.12 and sesbios, this may be the cause.
