[PATCH 00/10] drm: Improve fbdev emulation for DMA-able framebuffers

Add fbdev helpers for framebuffers in DMA-able memory and update
fbdev emulation in the respective DRM drivers. DMA memory used to
handled as system memory. Improve this and prepare for possible
future changes.

Patch 1 adds initializer macros for struct fb_ops and a Kconfig
token for framebuffers in DMA memory.

Patches 2 to 4 update fbdev-dma and tegra. No functional changes
are expected as both used system memory before.

Patches 5 and 6 update exynos to use DMA helpers. Exynos incorrectly
used fbdev's I/O-memory helpers. Fix this.

Patches 7 to 9 update omapdrm to use DMA helpers. Patch 7 first
reworks the driver's mmap to current best practices. This also makes
it suitable for use with fbdev, which patches 8 and 9 implement.

Patch 10 removes some fbdev macros for system memory that are now
unused.

The patchset would ideally go through drm-misc-next. Future patches
can build upon it and update fbdev drivers in similar ways.
