SubjectConsole fixes for 2.1.107

My console fixes for 2.1.107 can be downloaded from

http://www.cs.kuleuven.ac.be/~geert/bin/geert-2.1.107.diff.gz

Changes:

*!* Workaround for console_init() before memory_init(): replace ioremap() in
vgafb.c/vesafb.c by bus_to_virt(). Tested for vgafb.c only (solves the
black-on-black problem).
*!* Add scrollback support for frame buffer device that support panning or
wrapping. This includes vgafb, the VGA text mode frame buffer device.
- Frame buffer doc fixes (content + typos)
- Replace kerneld references by kmod
- Correct the default palette (mistaken for a typo)
- Show the Penguin! People want it :-)
- Basic module support for fbcon-* low level drivers (not unloadable yet)
- Make sure fbcon-* low level drivers are linked in if you want them in the
kernel
- Put the virtual frame buffer device last (in case anyone dares to include
it)
- Add mising closing brace in fbcon-ilbm.c
- Fixed function calls inside init_module() in frame buffer devices

Suggested configuration for Intel machines:

CONFIG_FB=y
CONFIG_FB_VGA=y
CONFIG_FB_VESA=n [*]
CONFIG_FB_VIRTUAL=n [*]
CONFIG_FBCON_ADVANCED=n [*]

[*] unless you know what you're doing.

Have fun!

Greetings,

Geert
