Bug description:
  [Impact]
  TTY switching is not possible on some workstations when iGPU is present and 
NVIDIA GFX is boot VGA. On that case, fbdev /dev/fb* is not created.

  [Fix]
  Find the correct boot VGA and remove overlapped aperture (BAR), so fbdev can 
be created properly.

  [Test]
  Once the fix gets applied, /dev/fb0 is present and TTY switching works.

  [Where problems could occur]
  The fix is a major overhaul over resource management on video apertures 
(BAR), so the boot VGA discovery might change and different aperture might be 
evicted.
