PATCH RESEND 1/1 Fix p9100 framebuffer in 2.6

RESEND:

The attached patch fixes the p9100 framebuffer so that text is viewable (not black on black, like it was before the patch). The linux logo displays for a very short period of time, then is replaced by a grey box. This leads me to believe that this framebuffer would have problems in X, but since there hasn't been a weitek driver for X in several millennia, this isn't something that I can confirm or deny.

But this patch does get color console working on my SPARCbook 3TX.
