I don't know about the latest vger source tree, but 2.2.1 from kernel.org
or 990201 vger source at linuxppc.cs.nmt.edu don't have the necessary
codes to support that for controlfb.  It probably makes no difference for
your problem, but you can try the patch below:

ftp://ppc.linux.or.jp/pub/users/toe/planb/patch-990128.diff.gz

This contains the patches (fbmem.c and controlfb.c) for setting boot time
options among other things.
