Currently even when the cursor is disabled (`setterm -cursor off`), it is
still repainted as a black rectangle the size of a single char.  This can
be seen, for example, by chvt'ing to a free tty, disabling the cursor and
doing `dd if=3D/dev/urandom of=3D/dev/fb0`.

The patch changes this behaviour by avoiding painting anything when the
cursor is disabled.

The generic fbcon code tries to register and use the vsync IRQ for
ARM platforms with acornfb, but forgets to disable its own cursor
timer.  The result is a flickering flashing cursor.

Remove the code from the fbcon core to register this platform
private interrupt.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
