Disregard previous version, which had a typo and wouldn't compile.
Also, math is fun: the ioctl allows reading of 1968 BITS = 246 bytes,
not 1968 bytes as previously reported.
The VIAFB_GET_INFO device ioctl allows unprivileged users to read 246
bytes of uninitialized stack memory, because the "reserved" member of
the viafb_ioctl_info struct declared on the stack is not altered or
zeroed before being copied back to the user. This patch takes care of
it.
