Fix fb_defio bug in udlfb for multiple framebuffers
Previously when using fb_defio with multiple DisplayLink attached displays
udlfb incorrectly used a shared datastructure where it needed to have
one per fb_info struct. This was completely broken and caused all kinds of
problems, including rendering to one framebuffer affecting others.

Add module options for console and fb_defio
Convert fb_defio on/off switch to module option and add console option.
>From the command line, pass options to modprobe
modprobe udlfb defio=1 console=1
Or for permanent option, create file like /etc/modprobe.d/options with text
options udlfb defio=1 console=1
Accepted options:
fb_defio Make use of the fb_defio (CONFIG_FB_DEFERRED_IO) kernel
module to track changed areas of the framebuffer by page faults.
Standard fbdev applications that use mmap but that do not
report damage, may be able to work with this enabled.
Disabled by default because of overhead and other issues.
console Allow fbcon to attach to udlfb provided framebuffers. This
is disabled by default because fbcon will aggressively consume
the first framebuffer it finds, which isn't usually what the
user wants in the case of USB displays.

Support writing default/backup edid via /sys/class/graphics/fb?/edid
Writing a backup edid blob to the 'edid' file will cause udlfb to
attempt to re-read the edid from hardware.
If we still don't have a good edid, it will use the backup edid instead.
The intent is to 1) enable user-supplied edid
2) enable udev rules to backup the last known good edid
for a device, and then provide that edid as a backup for all future starts

Enhance EDID and mode table handling
* Adds support for lower-end DL chips on higher-end monitors
* Adds support for using fbdev standard EDID parsing and handling
* Adds support for more dynamic reallocation of framebuffer, based on new EDID
Queries EDID from hardware with several retries then
queries DisplayLink chip for max pixel area via vendor descriptor.
Uses existing fbdev mode handling service funcations to build mode list
of common modes between adapter and monitor.
This enables lower-end chips (e.g. DL-125) to successfully pick a compatible
mode on higher end monitors (e.g. whose default mode is over 1280x1024).
Reallocate framebuffer if necessary in response to new max mode.

Revamp reference handling and synchronization for unload/shutdown
Udlfb is a "virtual" framebuffer device that really exists on
two separate stacks: at the bottom of the framebuffer interface,
and on top of USB. During unload, there's no guarantee which
one will tear down first. So reference counting must be solid
to handle all possibilities and not access anything once its gone.

Restore fbdev character read and write support
Enables access to the framebuffer from simple reads and writes
to /dev/fb0 (or fb1, ...). Low performance, because of extra copy
and because udlfb must scan every pixel for changes. But very

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

Specify Kconfig dependencies, and include warnings for building as a module
udlfb is dependent on FB_DEFERRED_IO, FB_SYS_*, and FB_MODE_HELPERS
Because many kernels do not include defio (which cannot be built
as a module), yet users want to be able to build udlfb as a module later,
udlfb has ifdefs and these dependency warnings to help udlfb build with or
without certain dependencies, but also print warnings for any lost function.
Even though this kind of flexibility isn't common, we've gotten feedback
from a significant portion of users that they were frustrated without it.

Add support for fbdev mmap clients who don't send damage ioctls
Because DisplayLink devices are out on the other end of usb, their
"framebuffer" is just normal system memory. So memory mapped writes
don't automatically trigger anything. So up to this point, standard
fbdev clients who rely on mmap() will get an unchanging screen.
This patch makes udlfb a client of Jaya Kumar's defio framework - which sets
up page fault triggers, and those faults are accumulated and sent to udlfb
on a defferred basis, to process as damage notifications for the framebuffer.
Because this involves more overhead than a notification directly from
the application (e.g. just passing on X DAMAGE extension notifications),
a sysfs attribute is provided by udlfb to control defio support.
/sys/class/graphics/fb*/use_defio - writing a "0" to this file before
calling mmap() causes defio to not be initialized - instead udlfb
will rely on getting damage notifications directly through the damage ioctl.
There are unsolved rendering problems with defio (horizontal dead regions
on framebuffer, that accumulate over time) which still needs a fix.
