Done this now.  An updated patch is attached.

This also includes a number of other changes:

  - now works when built into the kernel
  - flat panel support (panel=<x>x<y> option). (Only one 640x480 panel
    has been tested though.)
  - blank function for display blanking/powersaving.
  - crt=<n> option to enable/disable the CRT output.
