    ACPI: Populate DIDL before registering ACPI video device on Intel

    Intel graphics hardware that implements the ACPI IGD OpRegion spec
    requires that the list of display devices be populated before any ACPI
    video methods are called. Detect when this is the case and defer
    registration until the opregion code calls it. Fixes crashes on HP
    laptops.
