Most of these fixes were already submitted for old kernel versions, and were
approved, but for some reason they never made it into the releases.Because this is a consolidation of a couple old missed patches, it touches both
Kconfigs and documentation texts.Signed-off-by: Matt LaPlante

This implements deferred IO support in fbdev. Deferred IO is a way to delay
and repurpose IO. This implementation is done using mm's page_mkwrite and
page_mkclean hooks in order to detect, delay and then rewrite IO. This
functionality is used by hecubafb.[adaplas]
This is useful for graphics hardware with no directly addressable/mappable
framebuffer. Implementing this will allow the "framebuffer" to be accesible
from user space via mmap().Signed-off-by: Jaya Kumar
