According to Jon Smirl, filling in the field fb_cursor with soft_cursor for
drivers that do not support hardware cursors is redundant. The soft_cursor
function is usable by all drivers because it is just a wrapper around
fb_imageblit. And because soft_cursor is an fbcon-specific hook, the file is
moved to the console directory.
Thus, drivers that do not support hardware cursors can leave the fb_cursor
field blank. For drivers that do, they can fill up this field with their own
version.
The end result is a smaller code size. And if the framebuffer console is not
loaded, module/kernel size is also reduced because the soft_cursor module will
also not be loaded.

- Workaround for the ioremap patch that produces a blank display on some
chipsets
- Make hwcursor = 0 the default. The hardware cursor does not work with all
hardware.

This patch removes drivers that have hardware cursors from calling the
software cursor code. Also if the driver sets a no hardware cursor flag
then the driver reports a error it someone attempts to use the cursor.

This will fail if the graphics aperture size is greater than 128 MB.
Fix is to ioremap only from the beginning of graphics aperture to the
end of the used framebuffer memory.

Changed the tests in intelfb_set_par to check also the parameter
var.accel_flags. If null, do nothing about ring buffers.
Now, the DirectFB i830 driver could nicely work even if intelfb is hw
accelerated. Just change the /etc/fb.modes file to disable console hw
acceleration when starting a DirectFB app.

On Nov 16 2004 a change to intelfbdrv.c was commited (as part of 0.9.2 it
looks like) that added __initdata to all of the module param variables that
seems to create the opportunity for an oops.
I've recently been chasing an OOPS
(http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=111552250920370&w=2) I
created by reading every file on the /sys file system and I've traced it
back to this code in the intelfbdrv. Though I had root privs in my initial
problem report, it turns out they are un-necessary to generate the oops -
all you've got to do is "cat /sys/module/intelfb/parameters/mode" enough
times and eventually it will oops.
This is because sysfs automatically exports all module_param declarations
to the sysfs file system.. which means those variables can be dynamically
evaluated at any later time, which of course means marking them __initdata
is a bad idea ;).. when they happen to be char *'s it is an especially bad
idea ;).
Applying the patch below clears up the OOPS for me.

Ingo Oeser noticed that all that intelfbdrv.h contains are prototypes for
static functions - and such prototypes don't belong into header files.
This patch therefore removes drivers/video/intelfb/intelfbdrv.h and moves the
prototypes to intelfbdrv.c .

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
