From: "Cohen, Eugene" <[email protected]> The UEFI Specification permits Graphics Output Protocol (GOP) instances without direct framebuffer access. This is indicated in the Mode structure with a PixelFormat enumeration value of PIXEL_BLT_ONLY. Given that the kernel does not know how to drive a Blt() only framebuffer (which is only permitted before ExitBootServices() anyway), we should disregard such framebuffers when looking for a GOP instance that is suitable for use as the boot console.
So modify the EFI GOP initialization to not use a PIXEL_BLT_ONLY instance, preventing attempts later in boot to use an invalid screen_info.lfb_base address.
