Thanks.  Actually there's still a critical flaw in the set_con2fbmap code.
For one, con2fb_map is never initialized.  It's just fortunate that this
array happens to be  filled with zeroes so con2fb_map[n] will always return
zero and registered_fb[0] happens to contain a valid info.  So it works, by
accident.

According to the C standard, global variables are initialized to zero, unless
specified otherwise.
