This is my first public release of the new api of the framebuffer
layer. The basic goal is to remove all the excess duplicate code and to
place all the console related code into fbcon.c. The second goal to allow
the framebuffer layer to exist without the console system. On embedded
devices that lack a keyboard it makes no sense plus it takes up valiable
space to have the VT system compiled in. The 3rd and finally goal is to
allow fbdev driver writing to be easy and yet flexiable.
This patch shows 3 basic things I like to change.
1) Universal cursor api. This allows the fbcon layer to not be required
hooks to program the cursor for every type of card avaliable. This
allows a seperation of fbdev and fbcon.
2) Move from framebuffer base to more accel engine base. This allows the
complete removal of console code from the low level framebuffer drivers
and we get ride of those god forsaken fbcon-cfb* files. So we end up
with a huge code reducution and this encourages the driver write to
write much faster fbdev drivers. Note these our the basic accels needed
for the fbcon layer. They are not used by userland in anyway. It also
means you have only 3 basic functions to deal with instead of the 7 of
struct display_switch.
3) Removal of duplicate code. Examples are the fb_cmap functions which are
basically the same in every driver. So you will be seeing soon a
fbgen2 that will have the same code that is duplicated over and over
again in each driver.
