Knut Petersen 44637a12f8 [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.

TODO / Missing features
=======================
Verify LCD stuff "stretch" and "center" options are
completely untested ... this code needs to be
verified. As I don't have access to such
hardware, please contact me if you are
willing run some tests.
Interlaced video modes The reason that interleaved
modes are disabled is that I do not know
the meaning of the vertical interlace
parameter. Also the datasheet mentions a
bit d8 of a horizontal interlace parameter,
but nowhere the lower 8 bits. Please help
if you can.
low-res double scan modes Who needs it?
accelerated color blitting Who needs it? The console driver does use color
blitting for nothing but drawing the penguine,
everything else is done using color expanding
blitting of 1bpp character bitmaps.
ioctls Who needs it?
TV-out Will be done later. Use "vga= " at boot time
to set a suitable video mode.
??? Feel free to contact me if you have any
feature requests
