Hi Jonathan,

The two calls initialize different objects. fbwscons_init() sets up
rdev->sf.sf_ro for the firmware framebuffer, while the second call
initializes rdev->ro for the framebuffer for the KMS. Removing the
reassignment to sf.sf_ro is what makes the second initialization
necessary including its RI_BSWAP.

The revised patch below also removes RI_VCONS and RI_WRONLY from the
early initialization. The KMS object is the only one to have virtual
console allocation.

I think there are two resources left behind after the handoff that
could be cleaned up
- the early font reference
- kernel mapping of the firmware framebuffer

I have not looked at doing that cleanup yet.

Also the console isn't centered as per the firmware, I don't really
like the centered console personally.

Anyway here's a screenshot of my framebuffer right now.
