Right. Someone please let me know if 3/3 needs to be extended. I'm also

Maybe there should be a small drivers/video/fbdev/core/fbmem.h file (or
something) with these "internal" declarations, to hide some clutter currently

Feels like that could be done later, after these other cleanups you mention,
so that the new file has a few more things to declare.

Peter
