const fb_{fillrect,copyarea,image}?

Wouldn't it make sense to make the fb_{fillrect,copyarea,image} parameters of
the fb_ops.fb_{fillrect,copyarea,image}() operations const? This would protect
us against side effects when reusing the fb_{fillrect,copyarea,image} structs
without reinitializing their contents (as is currently done by the logo drawing
code in fbcon_show_logo() on SMP).
Of course this means that we have to modify the clipping code, which currently
just modifies the passed structure.
