Some systems are starting to shift to support DM_VIDEO which exposes
the frame buffer through a slightly different interface.
This is a poor man's effort to support the dm video interface instead
of the lcd one. We still only support a single display device.

Recently Linux is gaining support for efifb on AArch64 and that support actually
tries to make use of the frame buffer address we expose to it via gop.
While this wouldn't be bad in theory, in practice it means a few bad things
1) We expose 16bit frame buffers as 32bit today
2) Linux can't deal with overlapping non-PCI regions between efifb and
a different frame buffer driver
For now, let's just disable exposure of the frame buffer address. Most OSs that
get booted will have a native driver for the GPU anyway.

The EFI standard defines a simple boot protocol that an EFI payload can use
to access video output.
This patch adds support to expose exactly that one (and the mode already in
use) as possible graphical configuration to an EFI payload.
With this, I can successfully run grub2 with graphical output.
