That seems over kill to me. The Intel VGA stuff seems to be pretty
stable and it's only a few fields that need to be passed back. What
about placing the required info in a coreboot table - then SeaBIOS can
just pass back the desired fields and not have to have board by board
specific logic.
BTW, I didn't port over "Alex" as it seems to be totally different
from the other boards.
