I didn't realise that this was needed in mainline.
I would hate to mrege it this late and find that it introduces some nasty
new deadlock which everyone hits. Probably it's more prodent to merge it
into 2.6.29.1 now.
From: Andrea Righi <righi.andrea@xxxxxxxxx>
Fix a circular locking dependency in the frame buffer console driver
pushing down the mutex fb_info->lock.
Circular locking dependecies occur calling the blocking
fb_notifier_call_chain() with fb_info->lock held. Notifier callbacks can
try to acquire mm->mmap_sem, while fb_mmap() acquires the locks in the
reverse order mm->mmap_sem => fb_info->lock.
