Okay, I suppose I'll have to port from the VR tree to the linux-mips tree
then.. then when we migrate to ruby, we can just kill off the drivers in
the linux-mips tree and use the ones I've already ported to the ruby tree.

Okay, please take care of VR4181 testing if you can. The only VR device I
have is my E-11. I suppose I should get around to picking up an Agenda or
something, though I don't quite feel like spending that much money for a
peice of trash.

Okay, it's attached. Though portions of ruby will need to be adjusted to
work properly under the tree.. this patch will only allow for building the
vr4181fb under ruby on linux-mips. I'm not able to test anything, so please
let me know if you run into any problems.

The patch itself is rather stupid, but it was the only really outstanding
thing in the driver that needed changing, as I modified Jun's patch to use
the same conventions that the VR tree did.
