[PATCH 1/10] matroxfb: set FBINFO_READS_FAST

From: Mikulas Patocka
Date: Thu Jan 23 2014 - 13:18:28 EST


Set FBINFO_READS_FAST so that the console code uses scrolling instead of
rewriting. This improves scrolling speed.

A time to do ls -la /usr/bin:
original patched
32bpp 5.4 3.6
24bpp 5.1 3.0
16bpp 4.9 2.5
8bpp 4.9 2.0
