Re: [PATCH 1/2] fb: add support for foreign endianness

This patch adds support for the framebuffers with non-native
endianness. This is done via FBINFO_FOREIGN_ENDIAN flag that will
be used by the drivers. Depending on the host endianness this flag
will be overwritten by FBINFO_BE_MATH internal flag, or cleared.

Tested to work on MPC8360E-RDK (BE) + Fujitsu MINT framebuffer (LE).

Good luck running X on that thing :-)

The base server seems to cope.. until you start using render operations
or that sort of things, and then things blow up. There's shitload of
stuff that seems to assume native fb endianness..
