[PATCH -mm] uvesafb: Don't access VGA registers directly when running on non-x86

2007-09-12 Thread Michal Januszewski
The VGA registers are only available at their legacy IO locations on x86. Don't try to access them when running on other arches. Note that the code accessing them directly is just an optimization (limits slow BIOS function calls). We don't lose any functionality by using BIOS calls instead of
