No user visible configuration if it can be avoided, please.

It sounds just wrong to have IO/MEM decoding on the _same_ areas
activated for two devices.

vgaarb should still work with one of them having resources disabled by
default, I think.
Otherwise coreboot would be the _only_ chance for vgaarb to work, as all
other boot systems will support Windows even to the detriment of Linux
support.
Which means that vgaarb wouldn't exist, given their position towards
coreboot.
