Kgicon: scrolling boost

Hi,

I just committed an updated fbcon-kgi.c which speeds up the scrolling.
The main way is by using a large virtual area and panning (SCROLL_YPAN)
-- this also gives scrollback which is nice :).  The other way is smart
redraw (SCROLL_REDRAW) -- currently untested though.

(LibGGI programs may seem to hang at exit, but it's just the kernel not
handling the KDSETMODE(KD_TEXT) like it should and resetting the origin.
Just hold down return until the screen scrolls)

Also, it seems something in the fb kernel headers changed recently.  I
had the "con2fbmap causes a hang" problem too earlier, which went away
after "make dep ; make clean ; make" on a new 2.1.111 vger kernel and
"make clean ; make" on the kgicon driver.

Cheers,
