This reverts commit b3ec8cdf457e ("fbdev: Garbage collect fbdev
scrolling acceleration, part 1 (from TODO list)"), but with a twist:

Because distros like fedora&suse (probably more) really want to move
away from fbcon as much as possible, and don't have a need for fancy
accelerated fbcon even less, hide the code behind an option.

There's also been noises about resurrecting the scrollback code and
other pieces, so there's plenty of need for such an option it seems.

Compared to direct revert I did move functions around a bit so they're
all in one block, to minimize the number of #ifdef.

I also tried to stuff this all into a separate file, but that didn't
really look much better. I also considered duplicating fbcon_scroll()
since that's a bit meh now, but again didn't seem worth the trouble.
Maybe when we resurect more code.

And finally to shut up unused parameter warnings warnings the macros
became static inline.

 Garbage collect fbdev scrolling acceleration
 --------------------------------------------
 
-Scroll acceleration has been disabled in fbcon. Now it works as the old
-SCROLL_REDRAW mode. A ton of code was removed in fbcon.c and the hook bmove was
-removed from fbcon_ops.
-Remaining tasks:
+Scroll acceleration is disabled in fbcon by hard-wiring p->scrollmode =
+SCROLL_REDRAW. There's a ton of code this will allow us to remove:
 
-- a bunch of the hooks in fbcon_ops could be removed or simplified by calling
+- lots of code in fbcon.c
+
+- a bunch of the hooks in fbcon_ops, maybe the remaining hooks could be called
   directly instead of the function table (with a switch on p->rotate)
 
 - fb_copyarea is unused after this, and can be deleted from all drivers
 
-- after that, fb_copyarea can be deleted from fb_ops in include/linux/fb.h as
-  well as cfb_copyarea
-
 Note that not all acceleration code can be deleted, since clearing and cursor
 support is still accelerated, which might be good candidates for further
 deletion projects.

+ *                     Operation   Pan    Wrap
+ *---------------------------------------------
+ * SCROLL_MOVE         copyarea    No     No
+ * SCROLL_PAN_MOVE     copyarea    Yes    No
+ * SCROLL_WRAP_MOVE    copyarea    No     Yes

+ * SCROLL_PAN_REDRAW   imageblit   Yes    No
+ * SCROLL_WRAP_REDRAW  imageblit   No     Yes
+ *
+ * (SCROLL_WRAP_REDRAW is not implemented yet)
+ *
+ * In general, fbcon will choose the best scrolling
+ * method based on the rule below:
+ *
+ * Pan/Wrap > accel imageblit > accel copyarea >
+ * soft imageblit > (soft copyarea)
+ *
+ * Exception to the rule: Pan + accel copyarea is
+ * preferred over Pan + accel imageblit.
+ *
+ * The above is typical for PCI/AGP cards. Unless
+ * overridden, fbcon will never use soft copyarea.
+ *
+ * If you need to override the above rule, set the
+ * appropriate flags in fb_info->flags.  For example,
+ * to prefer copyarea over imageblit, set
+ * FBINFO_READS_FAST.
+ *
+ * Other notes:
+ * + use the hardware engine to move the text
+ *    (hw-accelerated copyarea() and fillrect())
+ * + use hardware-supported panning on a large virtual screen
+ * + amifb can not only pan, but also wrap the display by N lines
+ *    (i.e. visible line i = physical line (i+N) % yres).
+ * + read what's already rendered on the screen and
+ *     write it in a different place (this is cfb_copyarea())
+ * + re-render the text to the screen
+ *
+ * Whether to use wrapping or panning can only be figured out at
+ * runtime (when we know whether our font height is a multiple
+ * of the pan/wrap step)
