Antonino A. Daplas 98a1153acd fbdev: kill sparse warning in deferred IO
Kill the following in fb_defio.c:

drivers/video/fb_defio.c:40:43: warning: incorrect type in argument 1 (different address spaces)
drivers/video/fb_defio.c:40:43:    expected void *addr
drivers/video/fb_defio.c:40:43:    got char [noderef] *screen_base<asn:2>

The framebuffer memory of these types of devices are allocated from system
RAM.

Paul Mundt 5e841b88d2 fb: fsync() method for deferred I/O flush.
There are cases when we do not want to wait on the delay for automatically
updating the "real" framebuffer, this implements a simple ->fsync() hook
for explicitly flushing the deferred I/O work.  The ->page_mkwrite()
handler will rearm the work queue normally.

(akpm: nuke unneeded ifdefs, forward-delcare struct dentry)

Jaya Kumar 60b59beafb fbdev: mm: Deferred IO support
This implements deferred IO support in fbdev.  Deferred IO is a way to delay
and repurpose IO.  This implementation is done using mm's page_mkwrite and
page_mkclean hooks in order to detect, delay and then rewrite IO.  This
functionality is used by hecubafb.

[adaplas]
This is useful for graphics hardware with no directly addressable/mappable
framebuffer. Implementing this will allow the "framebuffer" to be accesible
from user space via mmap().
