[PATCH 1/2] fbdev: allow multiple concurrent visible consoles

[Florian Tobias Schandinat]

This patch allows having multiple visible consoles that receive
display updates. For example one can have running "top" to monitor
the system on fb0 and at the same time work on a shell on fb1.
At the moment that works only with consoles, not with console and
graphical application nor with two graphical applications.
