I have a partial offb.c driver ported over. The problem is I haven't
written a generic software image drawer for teh font stuff. The current
one is broken :-( I will start working on tonight. We really need it.
As for the ATI 128 driver. Well since we removed the console lock we can 
use the CCE engine of the card :-) Basically the driver will be rewritten
from scratch. The only thing their is I will have to move the agpo code
into video or something to ensure agp is initialized first.

Same with the mips platform. Minior tweaks mainly to deal with io region
space and what the irq number is. I know on mips it various alot.
