the smem_start pointer of the framebuffer info struct needs to hold the physical address rather than the virtual address. This patch fixes a driver crash on mmaping the framebuffer memory due to an access to the memory address.
Note however that the memory allocated by kzalloc is not page aligned, while the address presented on a mmap call is aligned to the next page boudary.
