I'm getting a message in dmesg: "localhost kernel: vesafb: probe of vesafb0
failed with error -6"

I searched the web, and found that a lot of people are getting this, but I
couldn't find an answer, so I looked into it.

This appears to be because "vesafb" returns -ENXIO ("No such device or
address") when its probe function fails.  However, driverse/base/bus.c spews
an error message during device_attach() if a matching driver's probe function
returns anything but -ENODEV ("No such device").
