3) Draw the logos from an initcall on all frame buffers that exist at that
   point in time. Yes, this will destroy (part of) the content that's
   currently shown.

Isn't that almost the same as now? The problem is that the fb probes are
deferred to a very late stage, so we would not have the fbs when the
suggested initcall would be called.

Currently it's drawn from fbcon_switch().

Some drivers draw it independently from the fbcon code
(au1200fb_drv_probe() and mmpfb_probe()).
