fbcon & resize

I still think the whole resize stuff is broken, despite your latest
changes. The main problem is blindly using the modedb and not whatever
mode list is provided by the driver (but we need an interface for that).

We need to cleanup and generalize a function for matching a mode to
the mode list to be used by drivers for validation in check_var() too,
my current algorithm in radeonfb is a bit broken for CRTs for example,
and has the nasty habit of refusing modes rather than "adapting" them.

Ben.
