The MIPS Magnum framebuffer console now works when tested in QEMU.

Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")

This commit is the kernel 'git origin' import, not the proper reference.

The actual change is between v2.5.17/2.5.19:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tglx/history.git/diff/drivers/video/g364fb.c?id=b30e6e183a728923267
Date: 2002-05-22 07:52:33...

The same commit introduced the changes in g364fb_cursor(), which was
implemented previous to v2.4.0 so it is hard to follow from there.

Nobody complains during 18 years so I doubt anyone care that
g364fb_cursor() is removed.
And by removing it, you improve the kernel quality, so:

(Maybe remove the unhelpful 'Fixes' tag).
