c) reintroduce the state where fbcon is fast on fbdev. This is important for non-DRM machines,
    either when run on native hardware or in an emulator.
d) not break DRM development

Especially regarding c) I complained in [1] and got no feedback. I really would like to
understand where the actual problems were and what's necessary to fix them.

Seems like few people read linux-fbdev these days. I suggest to partly 
revert the patch to the point were performance gets better again.

Best regards
Thomas
