[PATCH 4/5] console/fbcon: implement con_bind and con_unbind

From: Paulo Zanoni <paulo.r.zanoni at intel.com>

And create fb_bind and fb_unbind fb_ops that the drivers can
implement.

The current problem I'm trying to solve is that when i915+fbcon is
loaded on Haswell, if we disable the power well (to save power) the
VGA interface gets completely disabled, so when we unbind fbcon we
need to restore the VGA interface to allow vgacon to work.
