Subject: Blank console but X11 works on MCP79 - old regression since 3.8

Hello,
I've just been hit by this old bug which is still present in 4.14:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=80675

On MCP79 (ION), when stolen memory is set to 32MB in BIOS, console is blank
but X11 works. When the stolen memory is increased to 64MB, console works
fine.

Bisected it to this:

It's a big change so I'm not able to do more debugging.
