virgefb.c
  - amiga/zorro specific,
  - broken (according to Kconfig),
  - uses obsolete/nonexistent interface (struct display_switch)
  - recent Adrian Bunk's patch removes this driver
  
S3triofb.c
  - ppc/openfirmware specific
  - minimal functionality
  - broken (according to Kconfig),
  - uses obsolete/nonexistent interface (struct display_switch)
