+/* There are several methods fbcon can use to move text around the screen:
+ *
+ * Operation Pan Wrap
+ *---------------------------------------------
+ * SCROLL_MOVE copyarea No No
+ * SCROLL_PAN_MOVE copyarea Yes No
+ * SCROLL_WRAP_MOVE copyarea No Yes
+ * SCROLL_REDRAW imageblit No No
+ * SCROLL_PAN_REDRAW imageblit Yes No
+ * SCROLL_WRAP_REDRAW imageblit No Yes
+ *
+ * (SCROLL_WRAP_REDRAW is not implemented yet)
+ *
+ * In general, fbcon will choose the best scrolling
+ * method based on the rule below:
+ *
+ * Pan/Wrap > accel imageblit > accel copyarea >
+ * soft imageblit > (soft copyarea)
+ *
+ * Exception to the rule: Pan + accel copyarea is
+ * preferred over Pan + accel imageblit.
+ *
+ * The above is typical for PCI/AGP cards. Unless
+ * overridden, fbcon will never use soft copyarea.
+ *
+ * If you need to override the above rule, set the
+ * appropriate flags in fb_info->flags. For example,
+ * to prefer copyarea over imageblit, set
+ * FBINFO_READS_FAST.
+ *
+ * Other notes:
+ * + use the hardware engine to move the text
+ * (hw-accelerated copyarea() and fillrect())
+ * + use hardware-supported panning on a large virtual screen
+ * + amifb can not only pan, but also wrap the display by N lines
+ * (i.e. visible line i = physical line (i+N) % yres).
+ * + read what's already rendered on the screen and
+ * write it in a different place (this is cfb_copyarea())
+ * + re-render the text to the screen
+ *
+ * Whether to use wrapping or panning can only be figured out at
+ * runtime (when we know whether our font height is a multiple
+ * of the pan/wrap step)
