Well yes, but effects on cyblafb are possible!  We'd be putting new and
un-tested-in-linus's-tree code into the tree at the last minute.

It would hardly be a calamity if we were to merge this into 2.6.15 of
course, but the principle which you describe ain't right.

That consumes storage in vmlinux or cylbafb.ko.  I'll remove the `= 0'.

The above hunk is full of whitespace damage (spaces instead of tabs).  I
fixed that, and other places like it.

Masking pointers to 32 bits.  Is this driver supposed to be run on 64-bit
machines?

I'll switch this to kzalloc().
