patch to honor hw disables after vbios
Unfortunately the first patch runs before VBIOS, so if the manufacturer explicitly disables an engine for some reason (by writing a 0 to those bits) we should probably honor that. This patch does that (actually 2 patches munged into 1). I've tested it on my NV98 and it correctly doesn't disable anything, but would be nice to test it on a card that _does_ disable stuff.
[note, this patch replaces the first patch, not in addition to it]
