b604838ac6 vfb: only enable if explicitly requested when compiled in
The Kconfig help for the vfb driver says:
   Do NOT enable it for normal systems! To protect the innocent, it
   has to be enabled explicitly at boot time using the kernel option
   `video=vfb:'.

This change lets the code match the description.

Support for vfb:disable is kept for backwards compatibility; vfb:off works
because it is tested at a higher level.

Note: any undefined option (e.g. vfb:enable) will also enable this driver.

The relevant code has been unchanged since before the migration to
git (2.6.12).

This patch fixes bugzilla  and was the root cause behind
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/5/31/220.

68e5e9d734 vfb: make virtual framebuffer mmapable
Changed things:

1. vmalloc()/vfree() replaced with rvmalloc()/rvfree() (taken from
   drivers/media/video/se401.c)

2. mmap method implemented (mostly taken from drivers/media/video/se401.c)

3. smem_start and smem_len fields of struct fb_fix_screeninfo initialized.
    (smem_start initialized with virtual address, don't know if it is really
   bad...)

84902b7af6 fbdev: change asm/uaccess.h to linux/uaccess.h
This patch replaces <asm/uaccess.h> with <linux/uaccess.h> after the
checkpatch.pl hint.  The include of <asm/uaccess.h> is removed if the driver
does not use it.

a8f340e394 [PATCH] vt: Remove VT-specific declarations and definitions from tty.h
MAX_NR_CONSOLES, fg_console, want_console and last_console are more of a
function of the VT layer than the TTY one.  Moving these to vt.h and vt_kern.h
allows all of the framebuffer and VT console drivers to remove their
dependency on tty.h.

216d526c89 [PATCH] fbdev: Sanitize ->fb_mmap prototype
No need for a file argument.  If we'd really need it it's in vma->vm_file
already.  gbefb and sgivwfb used to set vma->vm_file to the file argument, but
the kernel alrady did that.

c465e05a03 [PATCH] fbcon/fbdev: Move softcursor out of fbdev to fbcon
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.

1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
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!
