[PATCH 1/3][FBCON]: Refinements for fbcon

["Antonino A. Daplas" <adaplas@hotpop.com>]

Hi,

1.  From Petr Vandrovec <vandrove@vc.cvut.cz>.

Begin quote
  	yesterday I finally found why 2.6.x has problems with taking over vgacon.
	Problem is that take_over_console does:


  	if (IS_VISIBLE)
    	save_screen(i);
  	...
  	visual_init(i, 0);
  	...

	so code nicely saves screen contents, and calls visual_init, which calls 	
	fbcon's init, which in turn can issue vc_resize. And this vc_resize will
	trigger read from vc->vc_origin. But vc_origin still points to videomemory,
	not to the buffer where save_screen() copied its data.
End quote

So updating vc->vc_origin to point to screenbuf after the previous console deinitializes
allows fbcon to correctly update the screen from the screen buffer.  This change makes the
clearing of vram (using fillrect) unnecessary.

2. If FBINFO_MISC_MODESWITCH flag is set in info, do the set_par() in fbcon_switch()
instead of piggy-backing the set_par() on fbcon_resize().  This preserves the current var,
skipping the unnecessary fb_find_mode() step.
