This reverts commit 39aead8373b3c20bb5965c024dfb51a94e526151.
Revert this patch. This patch started to introduce the regression that
all hardware acceleration of more than 35 existing fbdev drivers were
bypassed and thus fbcon console output for those was dramatically slowed
down by factor of 10 and more.
Reverting this commit has no impact on DRM, since none of the DRM drivers are
tagged with the acceleration flags FBINFO_HWACCEL_COPYAREA,
FBINFO_HWACCEL_FILLRECT or others.

-Garbage collect fbdev scrolling acceleration
---------------------------------------------
-
-Scroll acceleration is disabled in fbcon by hard-wiring p->scrollmode =
-SCROLL_REDRAW. There's a ton of code this will allow us to remove:
-
-- lots of code in fbcon.c
-
-- a bunch of the hooks in fbcon_ops, maybe the remaining hooks could be called
- directly instead of the function table (with a switch on p->rotate)
-
-- fb_copyarea is unused after this, and can be deleted from all drivers
-
-Note that not all acceleration code can be deleted, since clearing and cursor
-support is still accelerated, which might be good candidates for further
-deletion projects.
