DRM provides a number of wrappers around fbdev cfb_() sys_(), fb_io_()
and fb_sys_() helpers. The DRM functions don't provide any additional
functionality for most DRM drivers. So remove them and call the fbdev
I/O helpers directly.

The DRM fbdev I/O wrappers were originally added because <linux/fb.h>
does not protect its content with CONFIG_FB. DRM fbdev emulation did
not build if the config option had been disabled. This has been
fixed. For fbdev-generic and i915, the wrappers added support for damage
handling. But this is better handled within the two callers, as each
is special in its damage handling.

Patch 1 adds several internal Kconfig options that DRM drivers (and
possibly other fbdev code) will use to select the correct set of I/O
helpers. Patch 2 adds initializers for struct fb_ops and generator
macros for the callback functions. These macros will simplify drivers.
This patchset applies the new options and macros to DRM fbdev emulation,
but regular fbdev drivers can use them as well.

Patches 3 to 9 replace the DRM wrappers in a number of fbdev emulations.
Patch 10 exports two helpers for damage handling. Patches 11 to 13
update msm, fbdev-generic and i915 with the help of the exported functions.
The patches also remove DRM's fbdev I/O helpers, which are now unused.

DRM's fbdev helpers had to select fbdev I/O helpers for I/O and for
system memory. Each fbdev emulation now selects the correct helpers
for itself. Depending on the selected DRM drivers, kernel builds will
now only contain the necessary fbdev I/O helpers and might be slightly
smaller in size.

v5:
	* fix whitespace errors (Jingfeng)
	* move msm patch to later position make it build
v4:
	* use initializer and generator macros for struct fb_ops
	* partially support damage handling in msm (Dmitri)
v3:
	* fix Kconfig options (Jingfeng)
	* minimize changes to exynos (Sam)
v2:
	* simplify Kconfig handling (Sam)
