ec66841e49 viafb: move some include files to include/linux
These are the files which should be available to subdevices compiled
outside of drivers/video/via.

6b841edf57 via: Rationalize vt1636 detection
The code was ugly and didn't check whether i2c operations were succeeding;
make it a little better.

24b4d82e47 viafb: Separate global and fb-specific data
This patch moves data of interest into a new viafb_dev structure which
describes the device as a whole; the idea here is to create a separation
between what all devices may need and what the framebuffer device in
particular needs.

I've also made some small steps toward thinning out the global.h mess.

277d32a36c viafb: rework the I2C support in the VIA framebuffer driver
This patch changes the way how the various I2C busses are used internally
inside the viafb driver:  Previosuly, only a single i2c_adapter was created,
even though two different hardware I2C busses are accessed: A structure member
in a global variable was modified to indicate the bus to be used.

Now, all existing hardware busses are registered with the i2c core, and the
viafb_i2c_{read,write}byte[s]() function take the adapter number as function
call parameter, rather than referring to the global structure member.

[jc: even more painful merge with mainline changes ->2.6.34]
[jc: painful merge with OLPC changes]

c4df5489e4 viafb: improve viafb_par
This patch introduces viafb_shared and is the beginning of a smooth
transition to use it.

viafb_shared should contain all general, non-surface specific data that
should be shared along all viafb framebuffers while viafb_par should only
contain things that are specific to each surface or in other words extend
fb_info.  This change is intended to clean the dual/multi framebuffer
handling up.

This removes the annoyance that viafbinfo1->par points to a different
structure than viaparinfo1.

As the last change is fundamental it is difficult to ensure that all parts
of the driver do not depend on the previous brokenness but the chance of
regressions is very low.
