This is only about the legacy mmap stuff, fbcon doesn't use that. And the
current defio fbdev mmap stuff is fairly horrible and very
driver-specific. Doing the above would be a neat cleanup I think, since it
avoids that new drivers have to care about fbdev.

Aside: Not sure David is still interested in the drm console stuff. I
haven't chatted with him since ages about this at least ...

It's going to be a sizeable chunk of work I think, and might not work. Was
really just an idea, I think better to stuff it into todo.rst. I'll do a
patch.
