although I still find the virgefb driver in the source tree.

Can anyone enlighten me?

I'm pretty sure it got pulled due to lack of maintenance on it.

Indeed. It never got migrated from to the 2.6 frame buffer API.

It shouldn't be too bad to pull it back from an older kernel and submit
a new patch.

Indeed. Patches are accepted, as usual...
