From: David Herrmann <dh.herrmann@googlemail.com>
HACK: This should be provided by architecture setup code. But to show how it is supposed to work, we now simply add a "vbefb" device during initialization.
The better way to do this is by moving this into arch-code. So for instance the x86 boot initialization should create this platform-device after VBE/VESA screen detection. Other architectures can do the same or introduce other framebuffer types than SYSFB_VBE.
