Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2

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!

+     <title>Frame Buffer Library</title>
+
+     <para>
+       The frame buffer drivers depend heavily on four data structures.  
+       These structures are declared in include/linux/fb.h.  They are 
+       fb_info, fb_var_screeninfo, fb_fix_screeninfo and fb_monospecs. 
+       The last three can be made available to and from userland. 
+     </para>
+
+     <para>
+       fb_info defines the current state of a particular video card. 
+       Inside fb_info, there exists a fb_ops structure which is a 
+       collection of needed functions to make fbdev and fbcon work.
+       fb_info is only visible to the kernel.
+     </para>
+
+     <para>
+       fb_var_screeninfo is used to describe the features of a video card 
+       that are user defined.  With fb_var_screeninfo, things such as
+       depth and the resolution may be defined.
+     </para>
+
+     <para>
+       The next structure is fb_fix_screeninfo. This defines the 
+       properties of a card that are created when a mode is set and can't 
+       be changed otherwise.  A good example of this is the start of the 
+       frame buffer memory.  This "locks" the address of the frame buffer
+       memory, so that it cannot be changed or moved.
+     </para>
+
+     <para>
+       The last structure is fb_monospecs. In the old API, there was 
+       little importance for fb_monospecs. This allowed for forbidden things 
+       such as setting a mode of 800x600 on a fix frequency monitor. With 
+       the new API, fb_monospecs prevents such things, and if used 
+       correctly, can prevent a monitor from being cooked.  fb_monospecs
+       will not be useful until kernels 2.5.x.
