Framebuffer driver for Geode GX

A framebuffer driver for the display controller in AMD Geode GX processors (Geode GX533, Geode GX500 etc.). Tested at 640x480, 800x600, 1024x768 and 1280x1024 at 8, 16, and 24 bpp with both CRT and TFT. No accelerated features currently implemented and compression remains disabled.

This driver requires that the BIOS (or the SoftVG/Firmbase code in the BIOS) has created an appropriate virtual PCI header.

There's only a driver for the Geode LX (or more correctly, our AMD FAE couldn't point me to a driver for the Geode GX).

AMD's drivers tend to use their OS independant HAL (c.f. cimarron for the Geode LX driver and their use of the Durango API in their old 2.4 drivers for the Geode GX). As such, they're not suitable for inclusion into the kernel anyway.
