I have put alot of though and even tested some raw code for this. The 
issue with just replacing the FB_WRITE and FB_READ stuff is more than one 
card could be present and each would require a different FB_WRITE. This 
would conflict. So what do we do? Ah the answer is use struct pixmap to 

It would not conflict with multiple cards, since if you set some defines and
#include the cfb* sources, you would get routines with slightly different
names, cfr. Christopher's approach.

  I have some code but I realized it is more of a challege than I thought. 
I don't see how one can nearly use the same code as in cfb*.c files for 16 
bit access since the whole idea behind the cfb*.c files is to write 32/64 
bit data at a time to the framebuffer. It would require a very different 
logic. There is just to many BITS_PER_LONG and stuff in the code. 
  At present I moved the code over to using the struct pixmap fields. In 
theory just changing the scan_align value should work. It doesn't tho :-(
Chris coudl you send me what you have tho. Just merge in your version of 
the cfb* functions into your driver for now. 
  Currently I'm trying to push a bunch to Linus. So I like to push your 
driver.
