Great !  

You're the first one I think, so it could be a bumpy ride :-)

Yes we need some checks in there, but I haven't a clue what they should
be.  (I'd guess something like #ifdef __powerpc__ etc).

Any suggestions ?

It works on packed-pixel modes, but not planar modes yet (although there
is some minimal code there for them).  I am working on fbdev right now,
reorganising some things and then I'm going to implement mode-setting,
and while I'm at it I'll add the support for bit-planar and
interleaved-planar modes.  This will take 3-4 days (at least).

Cheers,
