[parisc-linux] Byte mode STI roms

Hi,

I've played a little bit with the stifb on my C200 with a HCRX24 and got
the stifb to recognize it as valid card. My approach was to just get rid
of that funky STI_Uxx macros by copying the byte rom into memory and
adjusting the offsets. This way sticon-wmode.c and sticon-bmode.c are
nearly the same and with a little bit more tweaking I could get them
merged. 

So is there a deeper magic hidden why bmode is done the way it is, or 
should I clean up my code and check it in ?

Thomas.

PS: No, stifb doesn't work on the HCRX24, yet. It gets initalized, but
still doesn't show anything.
