This works for me but the board I have can only have 16 MiB available
for the framebuffer so I've not tested any other sizes.

gxfb: Get the frambuffer size from the BIOS

From: Jordan Crouse <jordan.crouse@amd.com>

Use the Geode GX BIOS virtual registers to get the actual size of the 
framebuffer.
