virtio uses normal ram as backing storage for the framebuffer, so we
should assign the address to new screen_buffer (added by commit
17a7b0b4

) instead of screen_base.

This patch removes a TODO comment in the code. I do not know whether it
is still relevant.

I noticed that intel_fbdev->our_mode is unused. Introduced by
79e53945 ("DRM: i915: add mode setting support").

Then I noticed that intel_fbdev->fbdev_list is unused as well.
Introduced by 38651674 ("drm/fb: fix fbdev object model +
cleanup properly.") in i915, nouveau and radeon.

Subsequently cargo culted to amdgpu, ast, cirrus, qxl, udl,
virtio and mgag200.

Already removed from the latter with cc59487a

 ("drm/mgag200:
'fbdev_list' in 'struct mga_fbdev' is not used").

Remove it from the others.

Use the newly created wrapper drm_fb_helper functions instead of calling
core fbdev functions directly. They also simplify the fb_info creation.

v3:
- Don't touch remove_conflicting_framebuffers

v2:
- add missing header for virtgpu_fb.c

virtio_gpu_alloc_object() returns an error pointer, it never returns
NULL.

This patch adds a kms driver for the virtio gpu.  The xorg modesetting
driver can handle the device just fine, the framebuffer for fbcon is
there too.

Qemu patches for the host side are under review currently.

The pci version of the device comes in two variants: with and without
vga compatibility.  The former has a extra memory bar for the vga
framebuffer, the later is a pure virtio device.  The only concern for
this driver is that in the virtio-vga case we have to kick out the
firmware framebuffer.

Initial revision has only 2d support, 3d (virgl) support requires
some more work on the qemu side and will be added later.
