Right. Someone please let me know if 3/3 needs to be extended. I'm also
happy to just drop it...

Maybe there should be a small drivers/video/fbdev/core/fbmem.h file (or
something) with these "internal" declarations, to hide some clutter currently
in include/linux/fb.h?
Feels like that could be done later, after these other cleanups you mention,
so that the new file has a few more things to declare.
Cheers,
Peter
