  Description     : Kernel patch to display a graphical boot splash-screen

 This patch adds a themeable boot splash screen to the Linux kernel.

 Two modes are available :
 - a silent mode, showing, for example a logo and a progress bar
 - a verbose mode, showing a picture on the background of the console 
 messages

 It needs 16-bits truecolor (i.e. without palette) support on 
 framebuffer. Themes need to be converted and attached to an initrd.
