This driver was removed from -mm tree, because it is in 2.6.21-rc1 .
So it is probably unnnecessary to resubmit a diff, isn't it?

This driver is unaccelerated (if i don't consider text mode support as

4bpp modes are not handled by cfb_* functions. cfb_copyarea works for that
modes by coincidence.
