[x86 setup] Don't rely on the VESA BIOS being register-clean The VESA BIOS is specified to be register-clean. However, we have now found at least one system which violates that. Thus, be as paranoid about VESA calls as about everything else. Huge thanks to Will Simoneau for reporting, diagnosing, and testing this out on Dell Inspiron 5150.
