KMS Running on Openmoko

This is just to report that, as of a few days ago, KMS (kernel modesetting) is running on Openmoko.  There's a piece of slightly bodged memory mapping to fix, and suspend/resume needs some experimentation to work, but otherwise it works enough to get a framebuffer console and for X to start up in fbdevhw mode.  The next step after fixing the problems is to allow X to run in "KMS mode", making full use of the power of the new infrastructure for its rendering.
