Subject: [PATCH 0/2] x86 Simplefb Fixes

Hi

Two fixes for the simplefb setup code in arch/x86/. One to support Matt's 64bit
EFI fb-base-address, and one to fix a longer standing verification bug.

Neither fix is critical. Additionally, most people still use efifb/vesafb
instead of simplefb, so probably does not affect any normal distribution.
However, SimpleDRM is close to being merged, so x86-sysfb might get into
some distros.

Thanks
David
