This patch introduces viafb_shared and is the beginning of a smooth transition to use it. viafb_shared should contain all general, non-surface specific data that should be shared along all viafb framebuffers while viafb_par should only contain things that are specific to each surface or in other words extend fb_info. This change is intended to clean the dual/multi framebuffer handling up. This removes the annoyance that viafbinfo1->par points to a different structure than viaparinfo1. As the last change is fundamental it is difficult to ensure that all parts of the driver do not depend on the previous brokenness but the chance of regressions is very low.
