Well, I downloaded your diff for the neofb driver and tried it out.  I did
notice there appears to be a slight bug in it.  Whenever anything (such as
fbset) closes /dev/fb0, the driver clobbers the device registers (resulting in
a blank screen).

I'm assuming the attached correction is more what was intended..

I'm currently merging our two sets of patches into one driver.  I do note that
patch gets a little confused when trying to do it itself and places a couple of
bits of code in really odd places, which might have been part of why it didn't
work for you.  I think I should have an updated patchset ready to post later
tonight..
