Also, using vmalloc for the backing store means this memory can't be
mmap()'d into userspace, which is a very common thing for framebuffer
using programs to do.  If mmap() is to be denied, then you should
provide a mmap implementation in the fb_ops structure.

I'm not sure I understand. broadsheetfb relies on defio to handle the
mmap and setup the fb_ops mmap handler. I'm using Xfbdev with this and
it works fine.

Ah, I see how it's working.  That's fine.
