[TGAFB] Implement the fb_imageblit hook.

Speeds up rendering of text by around 7x for 8bpp cards, as you'd expect from the difference in the volume of data passed across the bus. Thus the win should be about 31x for 32bpp cards.

Richard, you forgot to restart bkd again. Maybe add it to your initscripts?

Heh,

By the way, we know there are some security holes in BKD. We're just about to push bk-3.0.1 out the door which closes the ones we know about but you might want to be careful until you upgrade. Part of the reason we provide hosting at bkbits.net is because then the security problems are our problem, not yours.

We don't care if you run your own BKD, in fact we like it, the ultimate vision is a world of servers, not some centralized single point of failure, but until we've let the script kiddies beat on us for a bit longer you might set up at bkbits.net and I'll help you with a trigger which will autopush to there. So you can have your local clones of whatever, you push into it, it pushes into your-proj.bkbits.net and maybe sends mail to an interest list. Let me know if that would be useful (it works, this is how we update linux.bkbits.net from linus.bkbits.net).

You may contact me offline and I'll tell you what the security problems are (not doing it here for the obvious reason).
