There was a second patch that I missed that fixed an original 
regression, so I've just squashed that one into this V3 patch along with 
the reference count issue that Jack Stone pointed out.

These patches can be found in their original form in 
git://kernel.ubuntu.git/ubuntu/ubuntu-oneiric.git

UBUNTU: SAUCE: fbcon -- fix race between open and removal of framebuffers
