In general, I'm ok w/ PUTFB as the name.. except GETFB is actually more like GETFBINFO (ie. it doesn't take a ref).. so calling it PUTFB implies it is the counterpart to GETFB when it really isn't. (I suppose technically we could rename GETFB to something else without breaking ABI, and since we copy the headers into libdrm it might not be *that* big a pita..)
