The current drm_fb_helper_sys helpers referenced in fb_ops assume that the video memory is in system RAM. This is not the case for sparc which uses direct physical memory accesses for IO memory and causes the bochs_drm module to panic immediately upon startup as it tries to initialise the framebuffer. Switching fb_ops over to use the drm_fb_helper_cfb helpers ensures that the correct accesses are used on sparc, fixing the panic and allowing the bochs_drm module to function under qemu-system-sparc64.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
