[Oneiric][PATCH from 3.0.5~] savagedb: Fix typo causing regression in savage4 series

Hi,
Can you please cherry-pick this patch which fixes a 3.0 regression in
the savagefb driver?
The patch is in the p-kernel
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/ubuntu-p.git;a=commitdiff;h=4b00e4b3940eabb38adeec0823751820fe2d6fda
and is also scheduled for 3.0.5, but at this point (and the kernel.org
outage) I guess 3.0.5 will not end up in Oneiric.
I am adding the patch here, but I guess cherry-pick might be better in
case my mailer messes up the whitespace.
Best regards,
Tormod
PS. I filed a bug for this before I understood that I should rather
use the mailing list, but I will close it:

Subject: savagedb: Fix typo causing regression in savage4 series
video chip detection
From: John Stanley <jpsinthemix at verizon.net>
commit 4b00e4b3940eabb38adeec0823751820fe2d6fda upstream.
Two additional savage4 variants were added, but the S3_SAVAGE4_SERIES
macro was incompletely modified, resulting in a false positive detection
of a savage4 card regardless of which savage card is actually present.
For non-savage4 series cards, such as a Savage/IX-MV card, this results
in garbled video and/or a hard-hang at boot time. Fix this by changing
an '||' to an '&&' in the S3_SAVAGE4_SERIES macro.
