As Geert said, it's not just trivial, but logical to split fb_imageblit
into two.

So, are we gonna split it? This will also make hardware acceleration support
more clean. E.g. most sbus drivers do color expansion in hardware, and fall
back to cfb_imageblit() for the logo.

It's up to James, though I vote for it.  And I don't think any driver
has accelerated versions of fb_imageblit for the logo, since any
performance gained is probably minimal and it will involve too much work
for something that's going to be done only once.

Wait until someone wants 256-color fonts ;-)

When we do get that to that point, the entire interface will be
revamped.  Imagine passing 128 bytes to draw a single character.  This
is where Tile Blitting comes in.
