ps3av: Use a kernel thread to handle the actual video mode setting, as this involves some quite big delays.The ps3 fbdev already has it's own kernel thread no ? Why use a second one ? We could just have the ps3av code keep the delays but be called by a thread ?
That's another possibility. And since the screen is blanked during mode
change, there's no need to refresh it, and I may even get rid of the call to
ps3fb_flip_ctl() in ps3av.
I'll look into it...
