[PATCH] radeonfb: limit ioremap size & debug output
This adds a limit on how much of the framebuffer is ioremap'ed by radeonfb, thus enabling it to work with 128Mb VRAM or more on an x86 with 900Mb of lowmem in the linear mapping. It also adds a significant amount of debug messages and adds a CONFIG option to enable the debugging output, that should help with diagnosing new problems. Among others, it dumps the connector info as I understand them (so far, they give "strange" informations on laptops, I need more data on more various laptops to see if there's a pattern I can really use to figure out on which connector the LVDS is) Regarding the "lid closed at boot", ultimately, we may want to default to the VGA output in those cases, though I'm not sure what logic to use here. Maybe we could standardize some way for the platform to provide this "environment" information to the driver, but i wouldn't rely on it. More reliably, if we can find out that there is an LVDS output, and LVDS is disabled, just ignore the flat panel... We could assume any mobility chip has LVDS, which is true, but that would still cause a problem for laptops with an additional DVI output (only Macs so far afaik).
