I think there were three driver implementing hardware cursors. 
I tried to keep them working, they only needed minor touchups.

If they had fallbacks to the software cursor I removed those and
returned an error instead. Instead fbconsole will get the error and
switch to software cursor. If HW cursors are going to work from user
space they can't contain SW cursor fallbacks.

The patch should move softcursor.c into the fbconsole subdirectory but
I can't figure out how to do that with git yet.
