Thanks, I'll try 2.6.32-9 when I can. I guess I'll still need to patch for my laptop quirk.
For now I can confirm that in my tests the kernels that need vga=ext to boot have CONFIG_VT_HW_CONSOLE_BINDING
not set. The custom kernel I compiled with inteldrmfb compiled in and efifb and vesafb not selected
does not need vga=ext, but I've now seen that i has CONFIG_VT_HW_CONSOLE_BINDING=y .
