9818a00eea x86: ivybridge: Set up an MTRR for the video frame buffer
Set the frame buffer to write-combining. This makes it faster, although for
scrolling write-through is even faster for U-Boot.

d19ee5c27e x86: ivybridge: Only run the Video BIOS when video is enabled
This takes about about 700ms on link when running natively and 900ms when
running using the emulator. It is a waste of time if video is not enabled,
so don't bother running the video BIOS in that case.

We could add a command to run the video BIOS later when needed, but this is
not considered at present.

effcf067df x86: Add initial video device init for Intel GMA
Intel's Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) is a generic name for a wide range
of video devices. Add code to set up the hardware on ivybridge. Part of the
init happens in native code, part of it happens in a 16-bit option ROM for
those nostalgic for the 1970s.
