I actually don't think we need either of them, the ordering shuoldn't
matter, its just a bug we need to fix
in the radeon code during staging I expect, in theory you should be
able to load fbcon before/after radeon.

I don't think the intel code suffers from this issue.

Linus can you pull this tree?
