Subject: [PATCH xserver] mustard: xfree86: Disable the PCI probe path
RHEL 9 does not support userspace modesetting drivers for Xorg. Ideally
it would only support DRM drivers, but there are some fallback paths
(efifb mainly) that still require fbdev support. Since the primary use
of the PCI probe path is devices _without_ kernel support, we can safely
disable it. And indeed we want to, because there are some devices
(hyperv v1 e.g.) with both a platform and a PCI presentation, which the
PCI probe code fails to handle such that the server fails to start.
Thus: we #if 0 out the PCI probe in xf86CallDriverProbe.
It might be nice if the platform code knew about fbdev devices, but it
does not, and teaching it would be a large change for little benefit
given we do intend to sunset the fbdev path as well. Since the fbdev
path exists solely for cases where we have only the rudimentary firmare
framebuffer, we should only use it if _no_ platform driver is available.
Thus: we only call the legacy probe method if xf86ProbeIgnorePrimary.
Having done this, we need to go back into fbdevhw and undo fc78bcca:

fbdevhw: Refuse to touch PCI devices on the fallback probe path
Which was well intentioned, but given the above changes we know by the
time we're trying to probe fbdev we really do want it, either because of
the above fallback path or because xorg.conf asked for it. In either
case we shouldn't spuriously fail just because it happens to be PCI.
Thus: We if (0) out the code added in fc78bcca.
Any one of the above might be questionable upstream, hence the mustard
nature of this patch.
