drm/fb-helper: Add fb_deferred_io support
This adds deferred io support to drm_fb_helper. The fbdev framebuffer changes are flushed using the callback (struct drm_framebuffer *)->funcs->dirty() by a dedicated worker ensuring that it always runs in process context. For those wondering why we need to be able to handle atomic calling contexts: Both panic paths and cursor code and fbcon blanking can run from atomic. See commit bcb39af4486be07e896fc374a2336bad3104ae0a Author: Dave Airlie <airlied@redhat.com> Date: Thu Feb 7 11:19:15 2013 +1000 drm/udl: make usage as a console safer for where this was originally discovered.
