Not quite the case

fbcon already handles this on the PPC, 68K and soon the ARM platform
the sparc code handles this on the sparc (and needs moving to fbcon)

Its just these funny intel boxes that need moving to some kind of fbcon/kgi
combo. fbcon does all the framebuffer, kgi has the loadable pc
style drivers and some work on acceleration that is going to go somewhere
good whatever shape it ends up in. The combination of the lot once figured
will be real nice for everyone
