[PATCH] new fbdev api

[James Simmons]

Hi!

  Please try out this patch. It is port of all the fbdev work that has
been done in the dave jones tree to Linus's tree. The patch is way to big
(2 Megs) to post so here is the link. It is again 2.5.7. Have fun!!

[PATCH] new fbdev api.

[James Simmons]

This patch is the first in a series to move over to the new fbdev api. It
is against 2.5.7. The basic goal is remove the tones of redundent code in
the fbdev layer and make a much simpler api. The main way to accomplish
this is to reverse the flow of logic for the console system. The fbdev
system was later developed and we see alot of needless functionality added
to the fbdev layer. Instead the flow should be functionality in the
console system to the fbdev layer instead of the reverse. Also
accomplished is the seperation of the fbdev layer from the console layer.
This will have a very important impact on linux embedded devices. It has
been tested and has been in Dave Jones tree for some time. Geert with
your blessing I like to have it added to Linus tree.

Indeed, the fb changes are the largest chunk of -dj right now.
The three heavy-weight patches pending integration by their maintainers
make up for half of whats left to be resynced..

Alot to go here. The merge is half way done.

I have more too :-/ I'm breaking it up as much as possible. I also have a 
few more changes/fixes to send your way but I'm going to wait for that.

I talked to Vojtech about this so they will be going in soon.
