These are due to pm2fb_set_par() referencing <lowhsync> and
<lowvsync>, which are __devinitdata.  Question is:  can
pm2fb_set_par() [or any fb_set_par method] be called after
driver initializtion?  I.e., do all of those calls in
console/fbcon.c to fbops->fb_set_par() happen only during
driver init, or can they happen later?

Just to confirm - I know calls to fb_set_par() happen after driver 
init. 'lowhsync' and 'lowvsync' shouldn't be __devinitdata; it was ignorance 
on my part that allowed another patch to make them so. Tony, please apply 
Randy's patch.
