    Can you re-initialize the device from scratch? My knowledge
    about the video hardware dates to SVGA times and even that
    is not too deep.

    Maybe provide a basic SVGA re-initialization routine on x86 and have
    an interface for the third-party in-kernel drivers that
    would contain the re-initialization routine.
