Write or fix the code I'm afraid. :) There's definitely no shadow code
for afb yet (but it could be a big performance win - hint, hint), and
the non-shadow afb code in the fbdev driver seems broken. I'll happily
integrate fixes. :)
That being said, you could try 4.3.0 from
http://penguinppc.org/~daniels/README and see if that's any better.
Unlikely though, unfortunately, as I'm not aware of any changes in this
area.
