Currently, fbcon_blank() does the first method (pass blank unchanged),
which means radeonfb is wrong. Adopting the second method will make
radeonfb do the right thing, but will require changes to a lot of
drivers.

So, what will it be then?

I'd rather define FB_BLANK_* constants and convert all drivers... the
conversion is trivial.

Ok, I also vote for implementing the new FB_BLANK_* constants. I'll submit a
preliminary patch in a day or so, if nobody disagrees.
