oe-xf86-video-nsc-fix.patch

This driver is seldom updated and it breaks with new Xorg server.
The reason being the removal of a deprecated XFree86Server define.
This driver contains a lot of "compatibility" code which depends on it to use
the correct INB/OUTB method. Without XFree86Server the driver compiles cleanly,
but fails at runtime with the following error uttered into Xorg.log

xf86MapVidMem: Could not mmap framebuffer (0x00000000,0xfe280000) (Cannot
allocate
 memory)

Needless to say this bug took me about 6 hours to track down :(

The included patch will add -DXFree86Server to EXTRA_OEMAKE so the driver will
do the right thing at runtime.

Please merge.
