The stubs version is, since otherwise there's unresolved fbdevHW*
symbols in modules that call it and don't have #ifdef __linux__
around the calls - as of the versions in my Xorg 1.8 builds for
Solaris, that set is:
	nv_drv.so, glint_drv.so, r128_drv.so, mga_drv.so

If someone would rather put in the effort to export the fbdev
module support status and have the drivers not build in those
calls, I'd be happy to see that instead of carrying around dead
code.
