aty128fb.c does not compile in linux 2.5.46

Hi.

I don't know if its currently considered important, but just for the 
record.
Please CC any replies to me, since I am not subscribed to the list.

I'm running an AMD Duron/Via kt133, with Debian testing.  Nothing 
unusual that
I am aware of.  If I choose to use the ATI Rage128 framebuffer console, 
I get
the following compile error:

gcc -Wp,-MD,drivers/video/.aty128fb.o.d -D__KERNEL__ -Iinclude -Wall

Yep. There was a recent fbdev API rewrite, not all of the drivers have
been converted yet. (The radeonfb driver, eg, does this too.)

You can fix it by looking at the changesets from the PPC Bitkeeper tree
at http://ppc.bkbits.net:8080/linuxppc-2.5 ... the changes are fairly
straightforward, I did this and got radeonfb working under 2.5.45.

Cool. Ben would the ppc guys mind if I grab those files and placed them 
into my latest BK tree. The reason is I want to make them work with the 
latest changes for fbdev.
