There were still some issues with offb when BootX doesn't provide a
proper display node, this fixes them. This also re-instates the
palette hacks that were disabled a couple of kernel versions ago when
I converted to the new OF parsing, and shuffles some functions around
to avoid prototypes.

MAX_NR_CONSOLES, fg_console, want_console and last_console are more of a
function of the VT layer than the TTY one. Moving these to vt.h and vt_kern.h
allows all of the framebuffer and VT console drivers to remove their
dependency on tty.h.

This patch fixes various issues with offb (the default fbdev used on
powerpc when no proper fbdev is supported). It was broken when using
BootX under some circumstances and would fail to properly get the
framebuffer base address in others.

The pre-parsed addrs/n_addrs fields in struct device_node are finally
gone. Remove the dodgy heuristics that did that parsing at boot and
remove the fields themselves since we now have a good replacement with
the new OF parsing code. This patch also fixes a bunch of drivers to use
the new code instead, so that at least pmac32, pseries, iseries and g5
defconfigs build.

This fixes a problem with offb not parsing addresses properly on 64 bits
machines, and thus crashing at boot. The problem is worked around by
locating the matching PCI device and using the properly relocated PCI
base addresses instead of misparsing the Open Firmware properties.

According to Jon Smirl, filling in the field fb_cursor with soft_cursor for
drivers that do not support hardware cursors is redundant. The soft_cursor
function is usable by all drivers because it is just a wrapper around
fb_imageblit. And because soft_cursor is an fbcon-specific hook, the file is
moved to the console directory.
Thus, drivers that do not support hardware cursors can leave the fb_cursor
field blank. For drivers that do, they can fill up this field with their own
version.
The end result is a smaller code size. And if the framebuffer console is not
loaded, module/kernel size is also reduced because the soft_cursor module will
also not be loaded.

This patch pulls the PCI-related junk out of struct device_node and
puts it in a separate structure, struct pci_dn. The device_node now
just has a void * pointer in it, which points to a struct pci_dn for
nodes that represent PCI devices. It could potentially be used in
future for device-specific data for other sorts of devices, such as
virtual I/O devices.

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!
