Not really, I already had a patch much similar to this since 2.5.x,
but never pushed it, so it can wait a few kernel versions. I would
rather that they get the testing for as long as possible. It's the
Zaurus people that may actually want this feature just because they
need it, but I believe they have their own development kernel with
this patch already included.

Unfortunately though, this patch substantially changed fbcon.c, so
any other patch affecting that file may have to wait or risk
conflicts in the future.
