fbdev is nice, in the specific cases where the device fits the fbdev
model, because once you have the kernel bits you have X support :)

fbdev also can't be used in some situations on x86. Deeply fascinating
things happen on some x86 processors if you execute a loop of code with
an instruction that crosses two different memory types.

Sounds like cpu bug to me? What cpus are affected?

Could be worked around by pointing debug register at memory boundary?
