Would you like me to extend the FB API or not?  

Yes. Well for real I'd like you to do kms, so maybe you need to explain
why exactly you absolutely have to use fbdev (aka which driver isn't
supported by drm that you want to enable this on).  

Hi,

those would be at a minimum efifb, vesafb, xenfb
Those are obviously not sexy, but from a practical point of view
they are the minimum you need to support.

I think it's more constructive to look at it the other way around. What
drivers do we have that actually need to be used which don't have DRM
equivalents - and how do we fix that instead ?
