I love the small penguins, they're cute!
You should probably run this patch set through linux-kernel@vger though,
so see if there are people around there objecting to the idea. The patches
all look good from a technical point, except for the fact that the existing
fb boot logo is a gross hack to start with, but I don't think anyone is
arguing for getting rid of that.
