The backlight and lcd subsystems can be notified by the framebuffer layer
of blanking events.  However, these subsystems, as a whole, can function
independently from the framebuffer layer. But in order to enable to
the lcd and backlight subsystems, the framebuffer has to be compiled also,
effectively sucking in a huge amount of unneeded code. Besides, the dependency
is introducing a lot of compilation problems.

This code is effectively rebuilding a fb specific version of
inter_module_get/put., something that was removed earlier.

Another solution would be to put this code into a tiny module and then
have everyone depend on it.
