Reported by: Jean-Philippe Guérard (Bugzilla Bug 1782)
"I've tried with video=atyfb:debug and video=atyfb:debug,mode:1280x600, \
nomtrr.
In both case, the screen stays black, but seems divided into 4 vertical bands.
Some white lines pop up randomly on each vertical band."
The problem is a combination of an incorrect xclk plus lack of timing
information. The adapter is attached to an LCD device that can do 1280x600
(which is not a standard resolution). The global mode database does not have
an entry for it. Fortunately, the Video BIOS contains the complete timing
info for this display, however, atyfb is not making use of it.
Add support to get the timing information from the BIOS, if available.

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.

Currently, atyfb has code that sets the hsync and vsync polarity based on the
current video mode, without letting the user override the settings.
Remove this particular code. The sync polarities are set by the PROM, the
user or by the videomode.

This adds type-checking to pm_message_t, so that people can't confuse it
with int or u32. It also allows us to fix "disk yoyo" during suspend (disk
spinning down/up/down).
[We've tried that before; since that cpufreq problems were fixed and I've
tried make allyes config and fixed resulting damage.]

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!
