Given this comment, should we declare the fb_() helpers in 
<asm-generic/io.h> or <linux/io.h>?

I still don't like the idea of having the functions in <linux/fb.h>. We 
have code in DRM that also accesses framebuffer memory (via 
memcpy_toio()). It would make sense to use the fb_() helpers, if they 
are tailored towards this usecase.

Best regards
Thomas
