commit a885b3ccc74d8e38074e1c43a47c354c5ea0b01e upstream.

The GMCH_CTRL register (or MGCC in the spec) is at a different address
on Sandybridge, and the address to which we currently write to is
undefined. These stray writes appear to upset (hard hang) my Ivybridge
machine whilst it is in UEFI mode.

Note that the register is still marked as locked RO on Sandybridge, so
vgaarb is still dysfunctional.
