AFAIK these are used by the SPARC people only, to switch the graphics hardware
to frame buffer mode so the logo can be drawn. All other operations are done
using the accel engine on the cards that need fb_rasterimg().

So yes, once the logo is drawn by fb_imageblit(), fb_rasterimg() can be
eliminated by moving its functionality inside the fbdev-specific
fb_imageblit().
