I'm not happy, it should work :-(.  Support for bpp8 is there, I know
it, because we are using the same patch.  Once in a while, all those
dependencies just get whacked, and another recompile, with a make clean,
make dep might fix those dependencies (fbcon-cfb8 must get compiled and
linked).  I'll check it on a test kernel and let you know.
