As far as the ACPI video driver goes, acpi_get_physical_pci_device() 
will give you something to work with. For the console-switching case, I 
think the most reasonable plan is probably to add a flag to the console 
drivers to indicate whether or not they support reprogramming the 
hardware themselves, and then walk all active console drivers. There'd 
need to be a way for fb drivers to tell fbcon that they can handle it.
