[PATCH] Permedia2 fb on PPC

[Marc ZYNGIER]

[I'm forwarding this from linux-kernel, per Tom Rini request. Could
anyone with a previously working Permedia2 test this patch and tell me
if this breaks something. You can also scream if it works ;-)]

Hi all,

The following patchlet allows the Permedia2 framebuffer to work
properly on power-pc (instead of crashing the machine...).

This has been tested with a PCI Formac Promedia3D (aka formacGA8) on a
PowerMac 7500 (with a G3 card, if that matters...).

Patch is against 2.4.16, but should apply to any recent 2.[45] kernel.

        M.
