This patch adds support for GXT4000P and GXT6500P cards found on some
IBM pSeries machines.
GXT4000P/6000P and GXT4500P/6500P  couples are  identical from
software's point of view and are based on the same  Raster Engine
(RC1000), except for a different reference clock for the PLL.
GXT6x00P models are equipped with an additional Geometry Engine
(GT1000) but this driver doesn't use it.

Please also change name of the option to reflect the fact it supports
more than just the GXT4500P, e.g.

"Framebuffer support for IBM GXT4000P/4500P/6000P/6500P adaptors"

Please cc the updated patch to the linuxppc-dev@ozlabs.org.
