Add FB_EVENT_BLANK to notify listeners of a blanking status change. This allows backlight drivers to be implemented completely separately from any framebuffer driver. The new blanking mode is passed in event.data.
Almost. Note that my intent is to notify the console of the blank status _and_ do something about it, so we also need to do 'do_blank_screen/do_unblank_screen' at the fbcon level. I already have a patch in my tree, and will submit it after 2.6.10 comes out. But for now and for your own use, this will do just fine.
