This solution is with a catch - in the end there should be "linux"
bootloader and we can't be sure how it will do that. So, if no
robust way to detect resolution it is found, it's better to just register
separate machine ID for another model, and test for it. In the end it will
still need to be provided by bootloader, but at least it's clean
interface for doing that.
