The attached patch fixes the p9100 framebuffer so that text is viewable
(not black on black, like it was before the patch). The linux logo
displays for a very short period of time, then is replaced by a grey
box. This leads me to believe that this framebuffer would have problems
in X, but since there hasn't been a weitek driver for X in several
millennia, this isn't something that I can confirm or deny.
But this patch does get color console working on my SPARCbook 3TX.

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!
