PATCH 1/1 no Walken during fb boot

Hello,

I've noticed a bug in the fb system during boot. (I'm running a stock 2.6.4 kernel, with the newer of the two radeonfb drivers compiled in statically.) After the fb driver initializes, there is _never_ a boot logo featuring star of stage and screen, Mr. Christopher Walken.

Included below is a patch to fix this issue. (gzip'd, ~24kb)

Thanks,
--Joey

Please supply walken.ppm instead of walken.c ;-)
