Yup I've looked at this from the fbdev pov, however I hit the same problem
with the fbcon writes happening pretty much whenever they wanted to.

It might be possible to move the fbcon around by updating screen_base, but 
you'd need to have some sort of lock around the read/write functions, I 
think locking on each individual read/write might be a lot of overhead.

Ideallly something analogous to the X server Prepare/Finish access hooks.
