/proc/fb is not removed during rmmod.

Steps to reproduce:

	modprobe fb
	rmmod fb
	ls /proc
hm, that's the sort of thing which one would expect people to notice
fairly soon after we added the bug.  Yet it appears that the bug is
present in at least 2.6.20 and probably earlier.
rmmod is generally a rare operation... esp for something like a framebuffer

wonder if we need a scripted action that loads all modules and then tries to 
unload the ones it can
