Hmm, the code doesn't make much sense to me. They never do a vga_put,
so they must not realize that the vga_tryget is actually locking vga
arbitration. It looks like they just want to point VGA routing to the
default device and indicate they don't use VGA I/O. I don't really see
the point of the vga_tryget though since by declaring that they don't
use VGA I/O they give up all locks. A simpler fix would be to simply
skip the vga_tryget call. Or check the return value:
if (!vga_tryget(...))
vga_put(...)
The VGA arbitration code is lazy, so VGA routing will still point to the
default devices, but it won't be locked there. Thanks,
Alex
