2.6.20: Modular fb and logo crash

If you don't have any builtin frame buffer device driver and insmod a frame buffer device driver, the logo code will still try to display the logo (which is __initdata). This may cause a crash. Originally (2.1.x, is it that long ago I used a modular frame buffer device driver?), this didn't happen

Re: [BUG?] ata disk running maximum at DMA33 with 2.6.20 and new pata driver, NV CK804 ide controller.

I did the test you asked and yes, it is consistently booting at DMA33 with 2.6.20 and DMA100 with 2.6.19.3 (20 reboots, 10 2.6.20 and 10 2.6.19 in sparse order). I am compiling a 2.6.20 kernel with older pata_amd.c driver and will let you know. seeing the diff I do exspect it to compile cleanly.
