[PATCH] Update cyblafb driver
This is a major update to the cyblafb framebuffer driver. Most
of the stuff has been tested in the mm tree.
Main advantages:
============
- vxres > xres support
- ywrap and xpan support
- much faster for almost all modes (e.g. 1280x1024-16bpp
draws more than 41 full screens of text instead of about 25
full screens of text per second on authors Epia 5000)
- module init/exit code fixed
- bugs triggered by console rotation fixed
- lots of minor improvements
- startup modes suitable for high performance scrolling
in all directions
This diff also contains a lot of white space fixes.
No side effects are possible, only one single graphics core is affected.

4 | - the vesafb parameter has been removed as I decided to allow the | ||
5 | feature without any special parameter. | ||
6 | |||
7 | - Cyblafb does not use the vga style of panning any longer, now the | ||
8 | "right view" register in the graphics engine IO space is used. Without | ||
9 | that change it was impossible to use all available memory, and without | ||
10 | access to all available memory it is impossible to ywrap. | ||
11 | |||
12 | - The imageblit function now uses hardware acceleration for all font | ||
13 | widths. Hardware blitting across pixel column 2048 is broken in the | ||
14 | cyberblade/i1 graphics core, but we work around that hardware bug. | ||
15 | |||
16 | - modes with vxres != xres are supported now. | ||
17 | |||
18 | - ywrap scrolling is supported now and the default. This is a big | ||
19 | performance gain. | ||
20 | |||
21 | - default video modes use vyres > yres and vxres > xres to allow | ||
22 | almost optimal scrolling speed for normal and rotated screens | ||
23 | |||
24 | - some features mainly usefull for debugging the upper layers of the | ||
25 | framebuffer system have been added, have a look at the code | ||
26 | |||
27 | - fixed: Oops after unloading cyblafb when reading /proc/io* | ||
28 | |||
29 | - we work around some bugs of the higher framebuffer layers. | ||
