[RFC PATCH 1/2] drm/vgem: Add a dummy platform device

The vgem driver is currently registered independent of any actual
device. Some usage of the dmabuf APIs require an actual device structure
to do anything. Register a dummy platform device for use with dmabuf.

I realize the original driver had a note about 'drop platform support'. I
strongly dislike platform devices but they are the easiest way to get a device
structure for use with APIs like dmabuf.
