Ok, I understood.

I think this issue incompatible with existing users is because userspace API didn't consider cpu mode before.
anyway, I will correct my patch as your comments and send it again.
Perhaps, cpu timing variables would be moved to platform file.

thank you.

This changes the framebuffer userspace API, making it incompatible with
existing users.  What this means is that stuff using the framebuffer API
in userspace has to be upgraded/downgraded in lock-step with this change
- which is not a good idea.
