Re: [PATCH] fbmem: fix race condition between register_framebuffer()and fb_open()

I'm not a fbdev expert. So I leave the real fix to real men ( ;-) ).
It is causing deadlock during boot, so I would consider it quite critical.
Users using any fb driver will get into troubles.
The workaround is to boot with vga=normal.
