Frankly, I don't know a thing about this stuff.  Just let me know what you
need and where you need them, and I'll see what I can do.

It did turn out to just need the dev parameter to be non null. I've gone
through all the frame buffer drivers and done what I believe to be the
right thing; if they're PCI based, they get the struct device pointer
passed through, otherwise NULL is sent.

The attached patch is against 2.6.9-rc1, and (combined with other code)
allows the driver to remain active while we're suspending to disk.

There's framebuffer_alloc for that. I forgot to re-add a struct device *
to fb_info after I added the class_simple stuff:
