I've tracked down when the framebuffers were removed https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/kernel-team/2011-April/015249.html
KMS was also turned off at the same time https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/kernel-team/2011-April/015248.html . If I am reading that correctly, it looks like KMS was left on for PowerPC 64 bit machines. I wonder if this is still the case?
