Subject: [PATCH 00/11] fblog: Framebuffer kernel log driver v4

Hi

This is revision 4 of the fblog driver. It is a replacement for fbcon for
systems that do not want/need CONFIG_VT. It simply prints the kernel-log to all
connected framebuffers. Previous versions are available here:
  v3: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1328164
  v2: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.serial/8133
  v1: http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=133988465602225&w=2

This patchset is based on linux-next.

Changes from previous version:
  - Changed mailinglist to linux-fbdev instead of linux-serial
  - Added "main_only" and "activate_on_hotplug" module parameters to provide
    more fine-grained control over which framebuffers are used

As always simply remove the !VT dependency if you want to test this with VTs
enabled. Some more background information on deprecating CONFIG_VT can be found
here:
  http://dvdhrm.wordpress.com/2012/08/12/killing-off-config_vt/

I am still looking for someone who is willing to push this to linux-next through
his or her tree. Feedback is much appreciated!

Thanks
David
