DRM drivers using drm_fb_helpers still call some fbdev core functions. This makes the driver depend on CONFIG_FB, resulting in complicated Kconfig options, and preventing us from creating a top level drm config option to enable/disable FBDEV emulation. Create new drm_fb_helper functions that replace these fbdev functions. In most cases, the new helper funcs simply wrap around the original fbdev functions. For a few (like framebufer_alloc), we actually do some work that is currently redundant across multiple drivers. With these patches, the drivers don't call any fbdev functions directly. They are now called through functions in drm_fb_helper.c. We will later create a fbdev emulation config option to stub out the fb helpers. The only exception is vmwgfx driver. This doesn't use drm_fb_helper. It creates a fb device how a driver in drivers/video/fbdev would. Maybe this needs to be converted to use drm_fb_helpers.
