This the beginning of an API for in-kernel clients.
First out is a way to get a framebuffer backed by a dumb buffer.
Only GEM drivers are supported.
The original idea of using an exported dma-buf was dropped because it
also creates an anonomous file descriptor which doesn't work when the
buffer is created from a kernel thread. The easy way out is to use
drm_driver.gem_prime_vmap to get the virtual address, which requires a
GEM object. This excludes the vmwgfx driver which is the only non-GEM
driver apart from the legacy ones. A solution for vmwgfx will have to be
worked out later if it wants to support the client API which it probably
will when we have a bootsplash client.

With the ioctl and driver prep done, we can remove everything else.

Use srcu to protect drm_device.unplugged in a race free manner.
Drivers can use drm_dev_enter()/drm_dev_exit() to protect and mark
sections preventing access to device resources that are not available
after the device is gone.

drm_fb_helper is *the* way of doing fbdev emulation so add a pointer to
struct drm_device. This makes it possible to add callback helpers for
.last_close and .output_poll_changed further reducing fbdev emulation
footprint in drivers. The pointer is set by drm_fb_helper_init() and
cleared by drm_fb_helper_fini().
