This one is a real bug fix.

OK, this one causes me some grief, because it changes things which aren't
in Linus's tree yet.

<looks>

If I merge
fbdev-shift-pixel-value-before-entering-loop-in-cfbimageblit.patch as well,
all is good.

Yes, that's a safe patch to include.
 

So to confirm, after a compile test I'll send the following along to Linus
for 2.6.15:

fbcon-add-ability-to-save-restore-graphics-state.patch
fbdev-pan-display-fixes.patch
fbcon-avoid-illegal-display-panning.patch
fbdev-fixing-switch-to-kd_text-enhanced-version.patch
fbdev-shift-pixel-value-before-entering-loop-in-cfbimageblit.patch
fbdev-fix-incorrect-unaligned-access-in-little-endian-machines.patch

Yes.

There's also

	fbcon-fix-complement_mask-with-512-character-map.patch

which I have yet to test.  I guess we can hold off on that?

Yes, the worst that can happen is a bad gpm cursor.
