I thought we were going to do something like this:
diff --git a/include/linux/fb.h b/include/linux/fb.h
index be40dba..3324c92 100644
--- a/include/linux/fb.h
+++ b/include/linux/fb.h
@@ -483,7 +483,10 @@ struct fb_info {
#ifdef CONFIG_FB_TILEBLITTING
struct fb_tile_ops *tileops; /* Tile Blitting */
#endif
- char __iomem *screen_base; /* Virtual address */
+ union {
+ char __iomem *screen_base; /* Virtual address */
+ char *fake_screen_base;
+ };
unsigned long screen_size; /* Amount of ioremapped VRAM or 0 */
void *pseudo_palette; /* Fake palette of 16 colors */
#define FBINFO_STATE_RUNNING 0
The only question is what to call the fake_screen_base.
