Patched + removed VESAFB from config.

The mtrr patch in http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=77674 appears 
to fixes the problem.  No further mtrr debug outputs occurred.   Clean 
boot output now for 2.6.10-r4 + mtrr-debug.patch.

Will try again with VESAFB re-enabled and post further results @ 
bugs.gentoo.org (if any).

THX!
