OK, we need to figure out how to order the fb devices properly.  Right
now, they're initialised in IO tree order.  On a gecko with a graphics
card in the expansion slot, the expansion grahics gets device 0 and the
inbuilt is device 1.  Clearly similar problems exist on other machines.

So could everyone who has two (or more!) graphics cards in their machine
send the two lines of dmesg which describe their graphics card in the
inventory / buswalk section, their machine type (B132, Gecko, etc)
and indicate whether or not it gets them in the right order currently.

Example (made up!):

4. Frobnitz Ultra Graphics (10) at 0xf8000000 [8/1], versions 0xa, 0x0, 0x77
13. Thunder II graphics GSA form (10) at 0xf4000000 [10/8], versions 0xa, 0x0, 0x77
J282, works

Thanks.
