[PATCH] fbcon: Use persistent allocation for cursor blinking
Every time the console cursor blinks, we do a kmalloc/kfree pair. This patch turns that into a single allocation. This allocation was the most frequent kmalloc I saw on my test box. [adaplas] Per Alan's suggestion, move global variables to fbcon's private structure. This would also avoid resource leaks when fbcon is unloaded.
