As Greg mentioned for his review of the serial drivers, it's too late
for 2.6.37. Fortunately that means you're really early for 2.6.38
and getting it in there should be easy.

The code does look very good though overall.

This should really be a run-time or at least boot-time option. If you
set the frame buffer size at compile time, I guess you can no longer
boot on a machine that uses a different size.

This doesn't work if the drivers are built as loadable modules, right?
I wouldn't even make the definitions of the devices configuration dependent.
The idea of the device model is that you describe what you have in one
place and use that information to load the drivers for it.

The declarations never belong in an #ifdef, just make them
unconditional.

This won't work if you ever want to use the PCI on vt8505 with devices
that have I/O space mapping.

You need to define IO_SPACE_LIMIT to the size of your I/O space and
make the __io macro offset the address with the start of that window.
