fbdev proposed change

Hi!

Is there any way to know the bus topology of a framebuffer
device?, i want to get this info from fbdev so i can integrate
this info from the info libhal provides me, explicitly
having something like fb_fix_screeninfo.bus_id will be a
good idea IMO.

bus_id should be something like this for pci:

fb_fix_screeninfo.bus_id = "PCI:1.5.0"

or for sbus:

fb_fix_screeninfo.bus_id = "SBUS:cgsix"

Is just a few bytes and all drivers already know their bus
topology, this info is extremelly useful for detecting the
exact device a fbdev is attached.
