modified fbsplash patch for the 2.6.8.1 mm kernel sources

this patch should add to the mm-2.6.8.1-sources with the necessary code for
successful compilation from splashutils from spock
Comment 2 Michal Januszewski (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-08-22 12:14:45 UTC 
mm-sources are for the mm patchset only, and fbsplash is not a part of mm. If you're using a kernel other than gentoo-dev-sources, you have to patch it by hand if you want to use splashutils and fbsplash. I'll put your patch on my devsite, in http://dev.gentoo.org/~spock/projects/gensplash/archive/contrib so that people can use it to manually patch mm-sources.
