This patch fixes the permedia2 framebuffer driver. Currently it doesn't
event compile. This patch only touches the current permedia driver.
Regular patch is valiable at

http://phoenix.infradead.org/~jsimmons/pm2fb.diff

I suggest the following changes:
  - Mark FB_PM2 broken on Amiga, until somebody fixes it (pm2fb.c explicitly
    tests for CONFIG_PCI right now)
  - Always use the standard barrier macros (they do exist on m68k, and map to
    barrier())
  - Fix set_aperture() on big endian (pm2fb_par->depth doesn't exist)

Does this mean the permedia2 is only broken on Amiga or on all the
powerpc platforms?

Its broken on Amiga because the version in 2.6 supports PCI boards only. It may
work on PCI PPCs, don't know.

Also please tell me if this is the right place for these questions.

linux-fbdev-devel@lists.sourceforge.net is more appropriate
