No clue whether my idea is any good, but inspired by the bootsplash
discussion, and the prospect that we might get other in-kernel drm/kms
clients I'm wondering whether we should make this a bit more generic and
tie it to drm_file?

The idea would be to have a list of internal drm clients by putting all
the internal drm_files onto a list (same way we do with the userspace
ones). Then we'd just walk that list and call ->hotplug, ->unregister and
->release at the right places.

->restore would be a bit different, I guess for that we'd only call the
->restore callback of the very first kernel-internal client.

With that we could then add/remove kernel-internal drm clients like normal
userspace clients, which should make integration of emergency consoles,
boot splashes and whatever else real easy. And I think it would be a lot
cleaner than leaking fb_helper knowledge into the drm core, which feels a
rather backwards.

Otoh that feels a bit overengineered (but at least it shouldn't be a lot
more code really). If the list is too much work we could start with 1
drm_file * pointer for internal stuff (but would still need locking, so
list_head is probably easier).

Thoughts?
