The attached patch does two things:

 (1) We no longer check the return value of file->f_op->get_unmapped_area()
     unless we actually called it. We know addr is zero otherwise because
     we'd've given an error earlier if it wasn't.

 (2) If -ENOSYS was returned by that operation, then we assume we actually
     called a driver (such as the framebuffer driver) that might want to
     invoke the operation in a lower level driver (such as matroxfb) if one
     exists, and that it found that one didn't.

     We translate the -ENOSYS error into -ENODEV - the error we would have
     given if the operation was not supplied in the file ops.

     Doing this permits us an opportunity for arch_get_unmapped_area() or
     something else to be called if we want that to happen, particularly in
     the MMU case.
