The bootloader would init the display hardware, the bootfb would give an early /dev/fb0 for the kernel and userspace, and when the real display driver is loaded, the bootfb would be unbound and the real driver would take over.
This could be done with a KMS driver as well ;-)
I think that's a great idea. What I'm not sure about is how that infrastructure for switching frame buffers would work and how hard it's to write.
