I noticed because of another bug in omapfb which required blanking in
order to actually see something (PM stuff?). If user-space tries to
blank the usual way, it wouldn't work.

My guess is that it's not a big issue, in part because nobody has
noticed, but perhaps I'm wrong. I was hoping the fbdev guys would know
better.
