[1] The remaining patches are not only bug fixes to fbcon, but mostly
final versions of drivers as sent to me by their maintainers. I remember
you saying that you _no_way_ want zillions of driver updates and I should
queue them up and send as a single large patch.
[2] Since this stuff (except for fbcon+vesafb) doesn't affect i386 at all,
I expected you want to handle it as usual arch/ stuff, i.e. no fine-grained
separation.
OK, I'll start with first few chunks now. Please tell me how do you like them
before I continue.

It didn't hurt except for the fbcon stuff contained in the large patch.
Have a nice fortnight
