Then disabled, removing the memory region. Presumably between the
enable and disable the contents were read and copied to 0xc0000, which
is where the VGA BIOS is shadowed.

I agree. Every VGA access requires us to lock the VGA resources on the
device, so if we can't get the lock, we stop making progress. I took a
look at Xorg last night and it seems like it should be taking and
releasing the VGA arbiter lock in a way that would be compatible with
our use. That's in the xserver, not the actual display hardware driver,
and it wraps access functions in the arbiter support, so should be
transparent to the drivers. So for nouveau, it seems like it should
work. For nvidia, we don't really know, it could be locking the device
from the kernel module.
You could instrument vga_get, vga_tryget, and vga_put to figure out
what's happening. It might be enough to look at /dev/vga_arbiter at
each step in the sequence to reproduce (sudo head
--lines=1 /dev/vga_arbiter). Thanks,
