mdacon incorrectly detects MDA hardware on systems without such graphics card.
One may load this module by chance, for example when doing some systematical
module-testing, and if there is no Monochrome Display Adapter attached ,
module init renders vc1-16 completely unusable.
I and others have run into this more than once. see [Bug 224522 - modprobe
mdacon freezes machine -> https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=224522 ]
for example
Apparently proper MDA detection seems to be broken for a long time - seems to
be related to those #ifdef TEST_MDA_B statements added by Edward Betts.
this commit back in 2002 made things even worse :
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/tglx/history.git;a=commit;h=c72757b49c88914433244757fb4967fc63546685
It changed default vc allocation from 13-16 to 1-16 for no apparent reason
(!?) , and with that (and without X), mdacon grabs the vc you`re currently
sitting on and locks you out.
this is from Kconfig :
>config MDA_CONSOLE
> depends on !M68K && !PARISC && ISA
> tristate "MDA text console (dual-headed) (EXPERIMENTAL)"
> ---help---
> Say Y here if you have an old MDA or monochrome Hercules graphics
> adapter in your system acting as a second head ( = video card). You
> will then be able to use two monitors with your Linux system. Do not
> say Y here if your MDA card is the primary card in your system; the
> normal VGA driver will handle it.
As we can see mdacon is just meant as an additional driver for dual-head
setup, and since kernel 2.4.36 still defaults to vc13-16 , setting the default
back to that value again shouldn`t do any harm.
Hereby i'm reverting that change, setting default back to to vc13-16 again.
Besides the fact that mdacon may be rarely or never be used these days and
could perhaps put to trash anyway (pre-dinosaur hardware!), indeed this is not
a real solution, but at least it removes the unfortunate side-effect of
messing up the vc you`re working on.

This patch fixes following problems:
- does not allow the m parameter to reach 0 as
it locks the graphics core (power cycle needed)
- for the newer chips (with new clock registers)
does not allow of n / m ratio below 4 as it gives
unstable image on the Blade3D core
- extend shift parameter (k) range to 2 for the newer
chips to cope with the n /m >= 4 limit at low resolution
(bandwidth) modes
- prefer modes with higher n / m ratio (higher k values)

This patch fixes two problems when acceleration is enabled:
- console switch from the Xorg locks up the computer
because the Xorg code locks some registers and disables
the mmio mode, so reenable these in the
tridentfb_set_par() and enable_mmio()
- blacklist the Image975 chipset from setting PCI burst
mode. This helps with random lock ups of the
framebuffer on this chip. The same fix is probably
needed for the Xorg as well.

- removes some meaningless output and the VERSION

- eng_par is moved into the tridentfb_par
- removed small section of code for CyberBladeXPAi1
which is maybe right for only one resolution

This patch fixes few issues related to timings and pixclock generation:
- disallow the pixclocks with numerator lower than
double denominator. This fixes display instability
for some modes.
- choose the pixelclock with the highest
numerator and denominator values. This improve
image quality and fixes display instability
for some modes.
- make interlaced modes work.
- set synchronization pulses polarization
correctly.
- horizontal synchronization timing are now
the same as generated by X.

- set copyarea/fillrect for non-accelerated framebuffer (fix)
- remove 15 bpp depth handling to simplify code as it hardly
works (15 bpp handling was obviously missing in some switches)
- add fb_sync call and move waiting before accelerated function
to make acceleration more asynchronous to cpu (few % of speed
improvement)
- add cpu_relax() call in waiting loops
- make longer register names and name more registers
- move registers' definition to header
- general code improvements (shortening, simplifying)

This fixes kernel http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11112 (bogus
RTC update IRQs reported) for rtc-cmos, in two ways:
- When HPET is stealing the IRQs, use the first IRQ to grab
the seconds counter which will be monitored (instead of
using whatever was previously in that memory);
- In sane IRQ handling modes, scrub out old IRQ status before
enabling IRQs.
That latter is done by tightening up IRQ handling for rtc-cmos everywhere,
also ensuring that when HPET is used it's the only thing triggering IRQ
reports to userspace; net object shrink.
Also fix a bogus HPET message related to its RTC emulation.
