[PATCH v5 4/7] video: add generic framebuffer eviction

There are several situations where we want hardware handover from an early
boot GFX driver (e.g., vgacon, vesafb, efifb, simplefb) to a full fletched
GFX driver (e.g., most DRM drivers). So far, we relied on
remove_conflicting_framebuffers() to do this for us, however, this had a
bunch of downsides:
o It only removes conflicting fbdev drivers. It does not drop vgacon,
early boot console drivers, conflicting DRM drivers, etc.
o It only unloads the fbdev driver, it does not modify the underlying
device or resources. In case of "screen_info" drivers (e.g., efifb)
this is fine, since no resources are pinned. However, if the driver
binds to a platform-device like "simple-framebuffer", we must make
sure to unregister that device as well. Otherwise, pinned resources
like IORESOURCE_MEM stay around, triggering WARN_ONs if the following
driver requests those resources.
o It is only available if CONFIG_FB is selected.
This commit adds a new infrastructure that manages system-framebuffers
(short: sysfb). The initial commit provides conflict-resolution for
system-framebuffers. At its core it provides sysfb_evict_conflicts(),
which implements conflict detection and removal for all known types of
GFX driver hand-overs. So far, this includes platform-device removal,
fbdev-firmware-device removal, vgacon removal and VBE detection. To
further simplify the callers, it also provides helpers to figure out what
hand-over to do, based on the device the new drivers binds to:
o PCI drivers can use sysfb_evict_conflicts_pci(), which will figure out
the apertures automatically, and does VGA/VBE detection.
o Generic firmware drivers that might be shadowed at any address in
memory can use sysfb_evict_conflicts_firmware(), basically removing
*all* firmware framebuffers in effect.
This only adds the generic sysfb helpers. No users are converted, yet.
