The i.MX frame-buffer read operation should be faster for all configurations
then drawing each individual character again in response to scroll events.
The nonstandard fields allows to configure frame-buffer special options flags
for different display configurations by board specific initialization code.
One of such specific options is reversed order of pixels in each individual
byte. i.MX frame-buffer seems to be designed for big-endian use first. The
byte order is correctly configured for little-endian ordering, but if 1, 2 or
4 bits per pixel are used, pixels ordering is incompatible to Linux generic
frame-buffer drawing functions.
The patch "Allow generic BitBLT functions to work with swapped pixel order in
bytes" introduces required functionality into FBDEV core. The pixels ordering
selection has to be enabled at compile time CONFIG_FB_CFB_REV_PIXELS_IN_BYTE
and for each display configuration which requires it by flag
FB_NONSTD_REV_PIX_IN_B in "nonstd" field of info structure.
This patch provides way for board specific code to select this option.

Move AGP and DRM menus into the video graphics support menu.
They use 'menuconfig' so that they can all be disabled with
one selection.
Make the console menu use 'menuconfig' so that it can all be
disabled with one selection.
Make the frame buffer menu use 'menuconfig' so that it can all be
disabled with one selection.

Add logo.nologo kernel boot option to disable the logo in order to provide
more screen space for kernel messages; especially useful when debugging and
screen space is more critical.

Various console drivers are able to resize the screen via the con_resize()
hook. This hook is also visible in userspace via the TIOCWINSZ, VT_RESIZE and
VT_RESIZEX ioctl's. One particular utility, SVGATextMode, expects that
con_resize() of the VGA console will always return success even if the
resulting screen is not compatible with the hardware. However, this
particular behavior of the VGA console, as reported in Kernel Bugzilla Bug
7513, can cause undefined behavior if the user starts with a console size
larger than 80x25.
To work around this problem, add an extra parameter to con_resize(). This
parameter is ignored by drivers except for vgacon. If this parameter is
non-zero, then the resize request came from a VT_RESIZE or VT_RESIZEX ioctl
and vgacon will always return success. If this parameter is zero, vgacon will
return -EINVAL if the requested size is not compatible with the hardware. The
latter is the more correct behavior.
With this change, SVGATextMode should still work correctly while in-kernel and
stty resize calls can expect correct behavior from vgacon.

Move video graphics driver configs to fix menus:
Fix FB_PMAGB_B to depend on FB so that the FB menus remain
listed in order and indented correctly.
Fix FB_IBM_GXT4500 to depend on FB so that the FB menus remain
listed in order and indented correctly.
The OMAP FB drivers still muck up the FB menu a bit, so I put
OMAP drivers at the end of the FB menu.

Add error messages to the probe call.
While they may rarely trigger, they may be useful when something weird is

Make radeonfb work ith the 200m Xpress RC410. In my tests it was terribly
unstable and would freeze until I set a refresh rate in the kernel argument
to 75.
e.g video=radeonfb:1280x800@75
Now it is rock solid.

ps3fb: Add a `mode' parameter to ps3fb_get_res_table(), as in some cases it
should check the full-screen flag of the _new_ video mode instead of the
current video mode.
This bug caused spurious mode change failures when switching between
fullscreen and non-fullscreen modes using fbset, while ps3-video-mode worked
fine.

Allow generic frame-buffer code to correctly write texts and blit images for
1, 2 and 4 bit per pixel frame-buffer organizations when pixels in bytes are
organized to in opposite order than bytes in long type.
Overhead should be reasonable. If option is not selected, than compiler
should eliminate completely all overhead.
The feature is disabled at compile time if CONFIG_FB_CFB_REV_PIXELS_IN_BYTE is
not set.
