[PATCH] 2.5.24 matroxfb memory corruption

[Petr Vandrovec]

Hi,
  Linus, please apply this. When James converted all drivers to unified
do_install_cmap(), he blindly changed also matroxfb, which happily
uses fbcon.currcon == -1. This caused memory corruption because of
memory before fb_display[] array was overwritten.
  Default do_install_cmap() also installed invalid default color map
in some matroxfb resolutions. Not all world have >= 4bpp.
					Thanks,
