I fleshed out Geert's idea from the last radeonfb thread on bringing
fbcon's interaction with the underlying framebuffer drivers up-to-date.
Now fbcon should be smart and actually *use* fb-driver provided accel
functions ;-)

Specifically, I've added a .hwaccel field to fb_fix_screeninfo, which
should serve as the way framebuffers pass hints to higher layers.
This should totally obsolete the accel_flags in var (which till now has
had one half-heartedly used value FB_ACCELF_TEXT).

The patches that follow are:

1) my radeonfb copyarea() fix.  this is already in -mm.
2) James's fbcon init cleanup, modified for benh's tree.
3) my fb-accel-capabilities patch

When I boot with this, I have a nice accelerated framebuffer, huzzah.
This *shouldn't* break anyone's setup.  Please, test this patch!
Look good?  Comments?

Still not done:
- get rid of old comments in include/linux/fb.h
- get rid of all old references to useless var.accel_flags
- update other drivers to indicate if they have fast accel() funcs

-dte
