Hi Benjamin,

Thank you for the patch.

I'll let someone more knowledgeable than me comment on these two files.

Shouldn't this be #ifndef ? When the symbol is defined the implementation is 
provided by the architecture.

By the way, given that you provide a generic implementation here, what's the 
reason some architecture need to implement the function in a special way ? 
Couldn't we come up with a generic implementation across all architectures ?

Shouldn't this be defined somewhere in drivers/video/ instead, as the code is 
fbdev-specific and only used in drivers/video/fbdev/core/fbmem.c ?

This should come from a header file.
