pciaccess: make linux rom reading fallback optional
On kernels which have ROM files, the boot VGA rom file will contain the 0xc0000 file anyways. If another card is missing a rom file there is no need for this. This is fallback is disabled by default, on the premise that distro shipping this new a pciaccess will be running on kernels with working rom support which is been upstream for a long time
