 Various fixes and enhancements to the monitor hardware detection code.
 The only driver that uses it is the radeon driver. Give it a try before 
 you apply it.

None of my test boxes have radeon.   Your comment makes me worry about the
readiness of this code.   Please say reassuring things to me ;)

Old EDID parsing code was very verbose, half of the patch address this
(ie. print lots of stuff iff DEBUG). The other big change is the
FB_MODE_IS_* stuff: we really need a way to know the origin of a video
mode. In this way we can select video mode that comes from EDID instead
of VESA or GTF.

Drivers other than radeonfb won't be affected because they cannot (yet)
get EDID from the monitor and don't use EDID related code.
