Just one note. fbdev conflicts with the console BK tree. At the present 
time I'm working heavily on the fbdev tree to get it ready for Linus. I'm 
ruby-tizing the fbdev tree as much as possible. By that I mean killing on 
currcon and such. This will make it easy to work in under the console 
tree. I already managed to seperate out the console code from all the low 
level drivers.
