efifb: Skip DMI checks if the bootloader knows what it's doing
The majority of the DMI checks in efifb are for cases where the bootloader has provided invalid information. However, on some machines the overrides may do more harm than good due to configuration differences between machines with the same machine identifier. It turns out that it's possible for the bootloader to get the correct information on GOP-based systems, but we can't guarantee that the kernel's being booted with one that's been updated to do so. Add support for a capabilities flag that can be set by the bootloader, and skip the DMI checks in that case. Additionally, set this flag in the UEFI stub code.
