Adds helpers for maintaining aperture ownership. Currently wraps the infrastructure around fbdev's remove_conflicting_framebuffers(). For adding generic drivers to DRM, we need a hand-over mechanism that unloads the generic driver before loading the hardware's native driver. So far, this was supported for generic fbdev drivers, but not for DRM drivers. As a first step, this patchset provides a DRM interface to release ownership of a framebuffer aperture. When called, all generic drivers for framebuffers in the range are being unloaded. At this point the functions wrap similar fbdev functionality. The old fbdev-based interface is being inlined into the new functionsa and drivers are converted. The patchset is based on patches 3 and 4 of [1]. I incorporated the review comments and kept the acked-bys. All converted drivers have been built at least once on either x86-64, aarch64 or arm.
