Thomas Zimmermann 116b1c5a36 video/aperture: Provide a VGA helper for gma500 and internal use
The hardware for gma500 is different from the rest, as it uses stolen
framebuffer memory that is not available via PCI BAR. The regular PCI
removal helper cannot detect the framebuffer, while the non-PCI helper
misses possible conflicting VGA devices (i.e., a framebuffer or text
console).

Gma500 therefore calls both helpers to catch all cases. It's confusing
as it implies that there's something about the PCI device that requires
ownership management. The relationship between the PCI device and the
VGA devices is non-obvious. At worst, readers might assume that calling
two functions for clearing aperture ownership is a bug in the driver.

Hence, move the PCI removal helper's code for VGA functionality into
a separate function and call this function from gma500. Documents the
purpose of each call to aperture helpers. The change contains comments
and example code form the discussion at [1].

v5:
	* fix grammar in gma500 comment (Javier)
