That was actually something I was not sure about when I initially
created the patch.
See the FB emulation expects some pointer into a linear PCI resource
(VRAM), I'm not sure if that can actually deal with something kmapped
into the vmap (GTT).
Since this is seldom used and only with low resolution it might be
better to do the conservative approach and use VRAM here.
And we do a full mode set when switching away from FB emulation AFAIK,
so the move from VRAM to GTT shouldn't be a problem.
