I would certainly be happy to have fbsplash included in the mainstream
kernel. vesafb-tng is a little more problematic, since it's x86_32 only,
and seems not to be working properly on some SMP systems.

Since I don't currently have access to any SMP machines, it would be
very nice if people who do so, and who have some interest in vesafb-tng,
could send me reports about how the driver is working for them. Even a 
simple "it's working properly" note is helpful, as it helps me assess
the situation. Thanks in advance :)

Live long and prosper.
