[TRIVIAL PATCH] FBDEV: Small impact patch for fbdev

Hi,

Here's a diff to correct several small things that escaped through the
cracks.

1. The YNOMOVE scrollmode for non-accelerated drivers is just very slow
because of a lot of block moves (leads to slow and jerky scrolling in
vesafb with ypanning enabled). Depending on var->accel_flags, set the
scrollmode to either YREDRAW or YNOMOVE. For drivers with hardware
acceleration, set var->accel_flags to nonzero for max speed.

2. fb_pan_display() always returns an error. User apps will complain.

3. case FBIO_GETCMAP in fb_ioctl does not return immediately. User
apps will complain.

4. vgastate.c is not saving the correct blocks.

5. logo drawing for monochrome displays is just incorrect.(alterations
were done by eyeballing only, no hardware for testing).

The above will only have a very small effect on the general state of
fbdev/fbcon. Patch is against 2.5.51.
