x86: Don't probe for DDC on VBE1.2

[PATCH] x86: Don't probe for DDC on VBE1.2

VBE1.2 doesn't support function 15h (DDC) resulting in a 'hang' whilst
uncompressing kernel with some video cards. Make sure we check VBE version
before fiddling around with DDC.

Much thanks to Tobias Hain for help in testing and investigating the bug.
Tested on;

i386, Chips & Technologies 65548 VESA VBE 1.2
CONFIG_VIDEO_SELECT=Y
CONFIG_FIRMWARE_EDID=Y

Untested on x86_64.
