Attached is a trivial patch to set up the video memory, but I still get
no picture. Probably other setup problems causing trouble still.
With video memory set up I get problems starting with no visual effect
on loading lxfb module to a nice kernel oops loop on Xorg start.

Patch itself is probably good, I'm just not sure where the 8MB comes
from and I don't know yet what this reserved memory is used for (just
framebuffer, or other functions too, etc).

This also reminds me that I didn't notice a way in the current
menuconfig to disable the muxed first UART to allow VGA DDC to work.
That I believe should be configurable from Kconfig, but I might have
overlooked something. Got reminded because i've had trouble without DDC
on vm86 based xorg-server with geode driver before.

One difference with our working v2 code regarding video is that the
video IRQ isn't shared, as they are given out more separately via
Config/Options.lb. Not sure if that could matter, but that's one thing.

dmesg additions on "modprobe lxfb" after video memory patch:

PCI: Guessed IRQ 11 for device 0000:00:01.1
PCI: Sharing IRQ 11 with 0000:00:01.2
PCI: Sharing IRQ 11 with 0000:00:0f.1
lxfb 0000:00:01.1: 8192 KB of video memory at 0xfd000000
fb0: Geode LX frame buffer device


Start of kernel spew I found from my serial console quite some time
later on after starting X and sitting in a freeze (there are some 50
pages more, probably got into a loop on pdflush problems - not pasted
here - more textual content in the end):

kernel BUG at mm/rmap.c:669!
invalid opcode: 0000 [#2] PREEMPT 




Feels very much like more setup work is necessary. I think getting the
other USB ports to give power (e.g light up an optical mouse) might be a
good start.
