talking to my self again,
My fix to fb.h only works on vanilla 2.6.0 sources not the -mm patchset. We
will need to make a glibc-kernel-headers spell based on the 2.6.0 vanilla
headers.
I don't see this as a real limitation though, if anyone disagrees or foresees
a problem from userspace not being aware of the specific patchset additions
then please speak up, enlighten us before *some* well intended soul wastes
too much time doing this.
