How does the framebuffer console system handle secondary controllers
right now? It seems from my look at the code that it only brings up the
primary and not the secondary?
By default, the first driver to initialize is used by the fb console.   If
there are more than 1 fb driver, one can either use:

- con2fbmap
- the "fbcon=map:abcd" kernel boot option

Of course, the secondary card must be POSTed.
