Implement fbdev emulation that is optimized for drivers that use DMA helpers. The buffers may no tbe moveable, may not require damage handling and have to be located in system memory. This allows fbdev emulation to operate directly on the buffer and mmap it to userspace. Besides those constraints, the emulation works like in the generic code. As an internal DRM client provides, it receives hotplug, restore and unregister events. The DRM client is independent from the fbdev probing, which runs on the first successful hotplug event. The emulation is part of the DMA helper module and not build unless DMA helpers and fbdev emulation has been configured. Tested with vc4.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
