	Hi James, Paul,

This is the second submission of the PS3 AV Settings Driver Library and the PS3
Virtual Frame Buffer Driver. I incorporated most (all?) of the very valuable
feedback I received, except for the removal of the long delays (msleep()) in
ps3av, which is still on my todo-list.

To ease the review, I'm sending all patches to both relevant maintainers and
mailing lists.

Summaries:
[PATCH 1/10] ps3: Add shutdown to virtual uart port driver framework
[PATCH 2/10] ps3: AV Settings Driver Library
[PATCH 3/10] fbdev modedb: allow refresh rates for named video modes
[PATCH 4/10] fbdev modedb: make more pointer parameters const
[PATCH 5/10] fb_videomode_to_var: reset virtual screen parameters
[PATCH 6/10] ps3: Preallocate bootmem memory for ps3fb
[PATCH 7/10] ps3: Virtual Frame Buffer Driver
[PATCH 8/10] ps3: disable display flipping during mode changes
[PATCH 9/10] ps3: cleanup ps3fb before clearing HPTE
[PATCH 10/10] ps3: ps3av/fb defconfig updates

PowerPC-specific patches (1, 2, 6, 8, 9 and 10) apply on top of the patches
sent by Geoff Levand to linuxppc-dev recently.
Frame buffer-specific patches (3, 4, 5, and 7) apply on Linus' current tree.

Note that patch 1 is a brand new patch.

Note that the first 3 frame buffer-specific patches are not really
PS3-specific:
  - Without patch 3 you cannot select all available video modes through the
    kernel command line,
  - Patch 4 is just a cleanup while I was working on the code,
  - Without patch 5 you cannot use the ps3videomode command line tool or
    /sys/class/graphics/fb0/mode to switch to a video mode with a lower
    resolution.

Please review. All comments are welcome.
Our goal is to get these drivers integrated into 2.6.21.

Thanks in advance!

Gr{oetje,eeting}s,

	Hi Andrew,

This is the third submission of the PS3 AV Settings Driver and the PS3 Virtual
Frame Buffer Driver.

Patch summaries:
[PATCH 1/10] ps3: Add shutdown to virtual uart port driver framework
[PATCH 2/10] ps3: AV Settings Driver
[PATCH 3/10] fbdev modedb: allow refresh rates for named video modes
[PATCH 4/10] fbdev modedb: make more pointer parameters const
[PATCH 5/10] fb_videomode_to_var: reset virtual screen parameters
[PATCH 6/10] ps3: Preallocate bootmem memory for ps3fb
[PATCH 7/10] ps3: Virtual Frame Buffer Driver
[PATCH 8/10] ps3: disable display flipping during mode changes
[PATCH 9/10] ps3: cleanup ps3fb before clearing HPTE
[PATCH 10/10] ps3: ps3av/fb defconfig updates

All patches apply to current linux-2.6.git.

Note that the first 3 frame buffer-specific patches are not PS3-specific:
  - Without patch 3 you cannot select all available video modes through the
    kernel command line,
  - Patch 4 is just a cleanup while I was working on the code,
  - Without patch 5 you cannot use the ps3videomode command line tool or
    /sys/class/graphics/fb0/mode to switch to a video mode with a lower
    resolution.

Please apply, so we can have this in 2.6.21. Thanks!
