This series of 6 patches attempts to clean up the KMS fbdev helper layer, and add support for two features I'd like to see for some use cases.
The first 3 patches are mainly cleanup and moving code around, the main idea being to better abstract the fbdev helper layer from the main kms core. This is done by trying to make fbdev into a kms user not reliant on any information stored in kms especially for it, it also makes the fbdev layer own the initial crtc/mode programming. The second set of 3 patches add the features: a) default to making 1024x768 framebuffer if we detect nothing plugged in b) if nothing is plugged in and the driver wants it, poll ever 5 seconds for something, until you find something plugged in, stop polling then. c) fbcon hotplug, if you have hot plug detect on irqs and you are at the console, it will redetect when you hotplug something. It also deals properly when X or something else is running and delays reprobing until next set_par.
