David Herrmann 6081905edf fblog: add kernel patches for fblog driver
The fblog drivers provides a replacement for fbcon and prints all kernel
log messages to all available framebuffer devices.

As long as the driver is not upstream, I will keep it here for reference.
See linux-serial@vger.kernel.org for discussion.

Subject: [PATCH 07/10] fblog: forward kernel log messages to all framebuffers
This provides a console-driver that forwards all log messages to all
framebuffers and redraws them.
To avoid redrawing multiple times in short intervals, we could use a
work-queue here by simply pushing the task onto the system work-queue.
However, fblog is not performance critical and only used for debugging so
we avoid the complexity for now. This may change in the future, though.
