Copying the irc discussion over: We've had that idea floating around years
ago, i915-gem even implemented in the form of pwrite/pread for usersapce.
But now all userspace moved over to mmap, so read/write has fallen out of
favour.

I'm also not sure whether we really need to fix more than just fbcon on
fbdev on drm emulation, and it feels a bit silly to add read/write just
for that. Also the is_iomem flag on the vmap (and maybe eventually on
mmap, no idea) might be able to let us fix this at least for real
eventually.
