[PATCH xserver 0/7] xfree86 colormap cleanup

I found it a bit weird that we were special-casing colormaps in the
privates code the same way as we did for screens and devices. As far as
I can tell, the xfree86 code is the only thing that needs that, and not
for especially good reasons. This series is an attempt to fix that.

If you're like me, PseudoColor modes are actually a bit difficult to
test without digging some ancient PCI kit out of storage, and testing
8bpp under qemu would be way easier. If so, you'll almost certainly want
2/4 from the vesa series I just sent, as 8bpp display is quite broken
otherwise. I'm a bit impressed so much time went by without anyone
noticing...
