[PATCH] Sysfs for framebuffer

the following patch (against 2.6.5-rc2) teaches fb to use class_simple.
With this patch udev will automagically create device nodes for each
framebuffer registered. Once all drivers are converted to
framebuffer_{alloc,release} we can switch to our own class.

This is what sysfs dir looks like:

notebook:~# tree /sys/class/graphics/
/sys/class/graphics/
`-- fb0
    `-- dev

drivers/video/fbmem.c
