Somebody will be beating you to it ;-)

Looks like:

 If that doesn't deliver, I already have all the parts in place to do a 
driver myself. Looks pretty easy to extend the existing HD44780 driver, 
and thanks to some sloppy checks for iopl() (I thought that was only 
available on x86), it [the HD44780 driver] already compiles on a 
Raspberry Pi.
