Subject: [PATCH 1/2] fb.h: Provide alternate screen_base pointer

Some drivers use member screen_base of struct fb_info to store non-
__iomem pointers, creating the need for ugly __force typecasts to
avoid sparse warnings. This adds an alternate pointer without the
__iomem qualifyer for this use.

Signed-off-by: Lars Svensson <lars1.svensson@...ymobile.com>

New version of my previous patch, reworked as suggested by Dan
Carpenter. For the name of the pointer, "screen_buffer" was the
best I could come up with. Other suggestions?
