The problem is that fb console uses the kernel mmapped framebuffer, but
omapfb is not aware of the fb console. So the above commands free the
framebuffer, as omapfb thinks no one is using it, and then fb console
tries to touch the fb.

omapfb tracks mmaps from userspace, and refuses to free a fb it it's
mmapped.

I don't know how to fix it straight away. Maybe there's a way for omapfb
to check if the fbcon uses the fb in question, and if so, refuses to
release/resize the memory.
