gf100_fb_oneinit() seems to be a better place for this, since it will
be executed exactly once, which is what you want for a memory
allocation. As you can see other memory allocations are also performed
there, which hints it should have been done there (and not in ctor) in
the first place. Maybe you can also move the alloc_page() there so
everything is done in the same place.

If you move the allocation/mapping to gf100_fb_oneinit() then I
suppose you don't need this change.
