[Bug 611471] [NEW] Fixup vesafb initialization patch which was mistakenly dropped.

[Brad Figg]

Public bug reported:


SRU Justification

Since dapper we have carried a vesafb modularization patch.  This allows
us to make vesafb a module so we can control its insertion.  When this
patch was rolled forward somewhere between dapper and hardy part of the
patch was lost.  Such that we do not allocate sufficient memory for the
local info structure.  This can lead to memory corruption and will lead
to a panic on unload of the module.

Please apply the attached patch to correct this problem.

TEST CASE: TBD

** Affects: linux (Ubuntu)
