[PATCH 2/2] omapfb: add support to reserve fb at specified phys address

The previous patch added support to reserve an exclusive coherent area
for omapfb. This patch adds support to allocate a fb from a specified
physical address inside that coherent area.

This can be used to "pass" a framebuffer from the bootloader to the
kernel: the bootloader sets up the DSS hardware to display a piece of
memory, and gives the address and size of the used piece of memory to
the kernel via omapfb_vram and omapfb.vram cmdline parameters.

Note that the DSS driver itself does not yet support this, and the DSS
hardware is reset at kernel init. This means that the display will be
off until later omapfb is started, which will set up the DSS again.
