the uploading of the microcode. Printing this out via the framebuffer
turned out to sometimes being delayed until during the upload of the
microcode to it, resulting in a concurrent access which freezes the
machine. So change afbinit(8) to no longer announce the upload. Of
course the proper way to solve this would be to do the upload in the
kernel with proper locking, if the licenses of both the afbinit(8)
code and the microcode allowed.
- Re-read the board type after uploading the microcode so the right one
is displayed.
- Fix GCC4 warnings.

AFB Graphics Accelerators aka Sun Microsystems Elite 3D. The microcode
is necessary if you want to run XFree86 with acceleration on these cards.
The microcode in itself has to be obtained from an existing SunOS/Solaris
installation.
