[PATCH] fb_cmap and transparency

From: Geert Uytterhoeven (geert@linux-m68k.org)

If a colormap contains no transparency information, fb_set_cmap() calls
fb_setcolreg() with trans = 0. This causes all CLUT entries to be fully
transparent on hardware that does have transparency information in the CLUT
registers.

The following patch solves this problem by changing the default transparency
from 0 (full transparent) to 0xffff (full opaque).
