[MPlayer-dev-eng] radeonfb framebuffer driver

There is a Radeon-specific framebuffer driver in the file
drivers/radeon/radeonfb.c.  It is a fork of the Linux kernel radeonfb
driver written by Nick Kurshev, but it hasn't really been worked on,
except for a single bug fix, since January 2002.

The in-kernel driver has seen more active development later on and even
the kernel 2.4 version seems to support more cards and features.  This
makes our copy look like cruft to me.

Can anybody give me a reason to keep it around?

Diego
