It will probably work for us, but it can't go in the XFree code
the problem is linux/ppc specific and has to be fixed in the
os specific part of the code. LynxOS/Pmax handle the
ioBase problem (only the first bridge is supported there) and
i assume that they need the vga font restore code.
The #ifdef __powerpc__ isn't right (and we can't use os specific
code in the drivers) so the fix has to go in another layer,
crippling another os to fix our problems isn't the right solution.
