[PATCH] fbdev updates.

Here are the latest updates to the framebuffer layer. Please test it outso
I can push it as soon as possible to Linus. Here is what has changes. The
* are tested drivers. As a note there are a few issues with a few of the
drivers but time is running out so I need to push the changes then fix any
remaining bugs. Links to the chnages are:

BK:            http://www.fbdev.bkbits.net/fbdev-2.5

diff:		http://www.transvirtual.com/~jsimmons/fbdev.diff.gz


P.S
       Note I removed the old fbgen stuff so some drivers are going to
break. Well with time running out I need to push ahead. Sorry but I have
to choose.

That's OK as long as we know that the drivers which are converted are 100% converted
and can be taken as an example.I prefer this approach instead of having to figure out
which incremental step towards the new api conversion was last taken and try to follow it.
So break the drivers and whatever else it takes so more people can confidently go on
and finally port their drivers.
