The fb_info struct, as defined in include/linux/fb.h, contains an element
that is supposed to hold the current color map:
struct fb_cmap cmap; /* Current cmap */
This cmap is currently never updated when either fb_set_cmap() or
fb_set_user_cmap() are called. As a result, info->cmap contains the
default cmap that was set by a device driver/fbcon and a userspace
application using the FBIOGETCMAP ioctl will not always get the *currently*
used color map.
The patch fixes this by making sure the cmap is copied to info->cmap after
it is set correctly. It moves most of the code that is responsible for
setting the cmap to fb_set_cmap() and out of fb_set_user_cmap() to avoid
code-duplication.

This patch adds to the fbdev interface a set_cmap callback that allow the
driver to "batch" palette changes. This is useful for drivers like
radeonfb which might require lenghtly workarounds on palette accesses, thus
allowing to factor out those workarounds efficiently.

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!
