Enrico Weigelt, metux IT consult 49c6431695 xfree86: add per major-version driver/module subdirectories
Modules are now placed into a sub-directory by major Xserver release,
so we have less hassle with trying to load drivers w/ incompatible ABI.

The legacy directories are still searched (after the versioned ones)
for backwards compat with badly maintained proprietary drivers (Nvidia).

This is a submodule to access linux framebuffer devices.
It is supported to work as helper module (like vgahw)
for the chipset drivers.  There are functions for
saving/restoring/setting video modes, set palette entries,
and a few more helper functions.  Some of them can be
hooked directly into ScrnInfoRec.

In ../drivers/fbdev is a "chipset" driver.  It is a simple,
non-accelerated and hardware-independent driver which works
on top of this fbdevhw submodule.
