ast SPARC graphics drivers [PSARC/2008/667 FastTrack timeout 11/07/2008]

[Aaron Zang]

Does the kernel framebuffer driver support visual_io(7I) interfaces?

For reference:

	PSARC/2003/432 Coherent Console
	PSARC/2004/105 Simplified Visual_io Versioning
	PSARC/2004/236 Update to Coherent Console

Regards,
Aaron
