Commit 3cf2667 as of next-20130301 extended the struct fb_info
with a skip_vt_switch to allow drivers to skip the VT switch
at suspend/resume time. For older kernels we can skip this
as all this switch does is call pm_vt_switch_required() with true
or false depending on this new flag and later
pm_vt_switch_unregister() would not have been made.
This patch cannot be broken down further so I'm pegging
this as the first one with 4 digits under the DRM folder
for collateral evolutions. This reflects its as atomic as
is possible. As we'll see on the next commit, these type
of collateral evolutions can best be backported not by
keeping ifdef's as below but instead by using a wrapper
caller, to help reduce with the amount of lines of code
we need. If a static inline is added upstream for these
changes, then no code is required for backporting, at all,
we'd just implement the static inline later upstream as
a no-op.
The tradeoffs to consider for this is if we can live with
these practices upstream, we may be able to support full
subsystems only with a compat module, and no need for
patches. This also means less code and likely less bugs
on the distribution front when backporting is required.
At least IMHO this may be worthy to consider at least to
support kernels listed as supported on kernel.org. We could
just leave the ifdef hell to older unsupported kernels.
Relevant commits below, starting with the first one that
added this new collateral evolution.

fb: add support for drivers not needing VT switch at suspend/resume time
Use the new PM routines to indicate whether we need to VT switch at suspend
and resume time. When a new driver is bound, set its flag accordingly,
and when unbound, remove it from the PM's console tracking list.

drm/i915: enable VT switchless resume v3
With the other bits in place, we can do this safely.
v2: disable backlight on suspend to prevent premature enablement on resume
v3: disable CRTCs on suspend to allow RTD3 (Kristen)
