Hm I'm not super sure whether we want to actually reuse this stuff ... We
kinda don't care about the sparc special case, and just having an fbdev
implementation witch has the switch between memcpy and memcpy_to/from_io
in one single place sounds a lot simpler ...

This way we can have a clean split between the old horrors of real fbdev
drivers, and a much cleaner world in drm. It would mean a bit of
copypasting, but I think that's actually a good thing.

In general my idea for drm fbdev emulation is that for any area we have a
problem we just ignore the entire fbmem.c code and write our own: mmap,
backlight handling (still unsolved, and horrible), cfb vs sys here. This
entire fbmem.c stuff is pretty bad midlayer, trying to avoid code
duplication here doesn't seem worth it imo.

Thoughts?
