How about throwing them into a new drm_fb.h header file.
This header file could be the home for all the fb stuff that is
shared between drm and the legacy fbdev.
Then we may slowly migrate more fbdev stuff to drm and let the legacy
fbdev stuff use the maintained drm stuff.
Dunno, the pain may not be worth it.
