0ba2fa8cbd fbdev: Add support for the nomodeset kernel parameter
Support the kernel's nomodeset parameter for all PCI-based fbdev
drivers that use aperture helpers to remove other, hardware-agnostic
graphics drivers.

The parameter is a simple way of using the firmware-provided scanout
buffer if the hardware's native driver is broken. The same effect
could be achieved with per-driver options, but the importance of the
graphics output for many users makes a single, unified approach
worthwhile.

With nomodeset specified, the fbdev driver module will not load. This
unifies behavior with similar DRM drivers. In DRM helpers, modules
first check the nomodeset parameter before registering the PCI
driver. As fbdev has no such module helpers, we have to modify each
driver individually.

The name 'nomodeset' is slightly misleading, but has been chosen for
historical reasons. Several drivers implemented it before it became a
general option for DRM. So keeping the existing name was preferred over
introducing a new one.

v2:
	* print a warning if a driver does not init (Helge)
	* wrap video_firmware_drivers_only() in helper

145eed48de fbdev: Remove conflicting devices on PCI bus
Remove firmware devices on the PCI bus, by calling
aperture_remove_conflicting_pci_devices() in the probe function of
each related fbdev driver. iSo far, most of these drivers did not
remove conflicting VESA or EFI devices, or outride failed for
resource conflicts (i.e., matroxfb.) This must have been broken
for quite some time.

df7a9ec3bc fbdev: lxfb: use generic power management
Switch to the new generic framework by updating function signatures and
define a "struct dev_pm_ops" variable to bind PM callbacks. This way we can
remove the legacy .suspend & .resume bindings from "lxfb_driver".

The lxfb_suspend() is designed to function only in the case of Suspend.
Thus, the code was kept inside "if (state.event == PM_EVENT_SUSPEND)"
container. This is because, in the legacy framework, this callback was
invoked even in the event of Freeze and Hibernate. Hence, added the load of
unnecessary function-calls.

The goal can be achieved by binding the callback with only
"lxfb_pm_ops.suspend" in the new framework. This also avoids the step of
checking "if (state.event == PM_EVENT_SUSPEND)" every time the callback is
invoked.

8a48ac3393 video: constify fb ops across all drivers
Now that the fbops member of struct fb_info is const, we can start
making the ops const as well.

This does not cover all drivers; some actually modify the fbops struct,
for example to adjust for different configurations, and others do more
involved things that I'd rather not touch in practically obsolete
drivers. Mostly this is the low hanging fruit where we can add "const"
and be done with it.

v3:
- un-constify atyfb, mb862xx, nvidia and uvesabf (0day)

v2:
- fix typo (Christophe de Dinechin)
- use "static const" instead of "const static" in mx3fb.c
- also constify smscufx.c

f7018c2135 video: move fbdev to drivers/video/fbdev
The drivers/video directory is a mess. It contains generic video related
files, directories for backlight, console, linux logo, lots of fbdev
device drivers, fbdev framework files.

Make some order into the chaos by creating drivers/video/fbdev
directory, and move all fbdev related files there.

No functionality is changed, although I guess it is possible that some
subtle Makefile build order related issue could be created by this
patch.
