[PATCH] FBDev: fix for fbcon Oops

Hi,

Attached is a patch against 2.5.49 + James Simmons' latest fbdev.diff.

This fixes fbcon oopsing at load time which is due to the fb_cursor's
palette index entries being improperly updated.

A new kind of 'emacs glitch' appeared, though. This can be described as
a block of text that is incompletely copied, ie when "tabbing" a line
of text. This is present with all hardware I tested, soft accel and
hardware accel, which indicates a problem in the higher layers (probably
fbcon). vgacon works okay.

Other changes:

1. optimization of fbcon_accel_putcs()
2. enabling logo displays at all packed pixel formats (as long as
fb_imageblit is supported)
3. Various fbcon_accel_cursor() fixes which would have resulted in
wrong cursor colors or an invisible cursor.

Tony
