Add early console support for generic linear framebuffer devices.
This driver supports probing from cmdline early parameters
or from the device-tree using information in simple-framebuffer node.
The EFI functionality should be retained in whole.
The driver was disabled on ARM because of a bug in early_ioremap
implementation on ARM.

That should be a rename, not a delete/create, right?

Should this change be split into two separate commits,
one for moving the file and the second for making changes?

Git will show a rename and modification properly, if you use -M to git
format-patch, so it should be fine.

It appears that there are so many changes Git would refuse to make it a "move" no matter what I do. What should be done here: should it be two separate commits for move/change or should it just be kept as delete/create?
