Views is suited for custom chips, I think we already discussed this topic
to great depth before, don't relight those flames...

I don't think at all that this is a bad idea. Have the grf/view interface
deal with common things that framebuffers might implement (like blitting,
like showing a hardware cursor), and add board-specific stuff to the server.

Certainly not from my point of view (no pun intended now:-)).
