Thomas Zimmermann e2d8b4289c fbdev: Use pageref offset for deferred-I/O writeback
Use pageref->offset instead of page->index for deferred-I/O writeback
where appropriate. Distinguishes between file-mapping offset and video-
memory offset. While at it, also remove unnecessary references to
struct page.

Fbdev's deferred-I/O code uses the two related page->index and
pageref->offset. The former is the page offset in the mapped file,
the latter is the byte offset in the video memory (or fbdev screen
buffer). It's the same value for fbdev drivers, but for DRM the values
can be different. Because GEM buffer objects are mapped at an offset
in the DRM device file, page->index has this offset added to it as well.
We currently don't hit this case in DRM, because all affected mappings
of GEM memory are performed with an internal, intermediate shadow buffer.

The value of page->index is required by page_mkclean(), which we
call to reset the mappings during the writeback phase of the deferred
I/O. The value of pageref->offset is for conveniently getting an offset
into video memory in fb helpers.

  FBTFT
=========

Linux Framebuffer drivers for small TFT LCD display modules.
The module 'fbtft' makes writing drivers for some of these displays very easy.

Development is done on a Raspberry Pi running the Raspbian "wheezy" distribution.

INSTALLATION
  Download kernel sources

  From Linux 3.15
    cd drivers/video/fbdev/fbtft
    git clone https://github.com/notro/fbtft.git

    Add to drivers/video/fbdev/Kconfig:   source "drivers/video/fbdev/fbtft/Kconfig"
    Add to drivers/video/fbdev/Makefile:  obj-y += fbtft/

  Before Linux 3.15
    cd drivers/video
    git clone https://github.com/notro/fbtft.git

    Add to drivers/video/Kconfig:   source "drivers/video/fbtft/Kconfig"
    Add to drivers/video/Makefile:  obj-y += fbtft/

  Enable driver(s) in menuconfig and build the kernel
