I'm not fan of the config space option .. I don't like vendor specific
stuff in PCI config space. I prefer adding a DISPI VBE register since
we never compile that out (despite the ifdef's being still around) do
we ?

I've tried to engage with the Bochs folks on their mailing list to make
sure they agree in principle at least but have had no reply yet.
