I think this is wrong. There's no reason why VGA adapters shouldn't be
hotplugged. You should fix the underlying problems that prevent hotplugging

Do you know the reason why we get hw_error()?
Because the card tries to register the legacy vga ports which are

Theoretically vga hotplug should be possible at least for secondary
graphic cards (even though I suspect most operating
