According to Jon Smirl, filling in the field fb_cursor with soft_cursor for
drivers that do not support hardware cursors is redundant. The soft_cursor
function is usable by all drivers because it is just a wrapper around
fb_imageblit. And because soft_cursor is an fbcon-specific hook, the file is
moved to the console directory.
Thus, drivers that do not support hardware cursors can leave the fb_cursor
field blank. For drivers that do, they can fill up this field with their own
version.
The end result is a smaller code size. And if the framebuffer console is not
loaded, module/kernel size is also reduced because the soft_cursor module will
also not be loaded.

Some adjustments to the matroxfb code, for one part preventing the display
to be disabled for longer than necessary, and for the other part to make
information about the frame buffer position available so that a kernel
debugger might obtain that before the initial mode change.
Finally, some return code corrections to fit the generic fb code.

This updates the matroxfb code so that it can find the PInS data embedded
in the BIOS on PowerPC cards. The process for finding the data is
different on OpenFirmware cards than on x86 cards, and the code for doing
so was missing.
After patching, building, installing, and booting a kernel, you should grep
for "PInS" in /var/log/messages. You should see two messages in the log:
PInS data found at offset XXXXX
PInS memtype = X
On the GXT135p card I get "31168" and "5". The first value is irrelevant,
but it's presence lets me know that the PInS data was actually found. On a
GXT130p, the second value should be 3. Since I don't have access to that
hardware, if someone can verify that, I will submit a follow-on patch that
rips out all the memtype parameter stuff.

Merge the algorithm id part (16 upper bits) of the i2c adapters ids
into the definition of the adapters ids directly. After that, we don't
need to OR both ids together for each i2c_adapter structure.

Some months ago, you killed the address ranges mechanism from all
sensors i2c chip drivers (both the module parameters and the in-code
address lists). I think it was a very good move, as the ranges can
easily be replaced by individual addresses, and this allowed for
significant cleanups in the i2c core (let alone the impressive size
shrink for all these drivers).
Unfortunately you did not do the same for non-sensors i2c chip drivers.
These need the address ranges even less, so we could get rid of the
ranges here as well for another significant i2c core cleanup. Here comes
a patch which does just that. Since the process is exactly the same as
what you did for the other drivers set already, I did not split this one
in parts.
A documentation update is included.
The change saves 308 bytes in the i2c core, and an average 1382 bytes
for chip drivers which use I2C_CLIENT_INSMOD, 126 bytes for those which
do not.
This change is required if we want to merge the sensors and non-sensors
i2c code (and we want to do this).

===================================================================
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
