Apologies for only bringing this up now, but I think this patch is
wrong after all.

screen_info.lfb_base is supposed to be a CPU address, and so
translating it like this is wrong. If you end up with a PCI address
here, you have made a mistake in hacking support for PCI outbound
translations into UEFI. Other users such as UEFI itself or GRUB will
treat this as a CPU physical address as well, so the kernel should not
treat it any differently.
