[PATCH] fbcon: take over console on driver registration
- This fixes another regression from 2.4. If fbcon is compiled statically, and the framebuffer driver is compiled as a module, doing a 'modprobe xxxfb' does nothing to the console. This has generated numerous bug reports from users. With this patch, fbmem will notify fbcon upon driver registration allowing fbcon to take over the console. - This also fixes con2fbmap not working if fbcon is compiled as a module using the same mechanism as described above.
