Implement framebuffer I/O helpers, such as fb_read*() and fb_write*()
with Linux' regular I/O functions. Remove all ifdef cases for the
various architectures.

Most of the supported architectures use __raw_() I/O functions or treat
framebuffer memory like regular memory. This is also implemented by the
architectures' I/O function, so we can use them instead.

Sparc uses SBus to connect to framebuffer devices. It provides respective
implementations of the framebuffer I/O helpers. The involved sbus_()
I/O helpers map to the same code as Sparc's regular I/O functions. As
with other platforms, we can use those instead.

We leave a TODO item to replace all fb_() functions with their regular
I/O counterparts throughout the fbdev drivers.

Note that on at least some architectures, the __raw variants are native-endian, whereas the regular accessors are explicitly little-endian, so there is a slight risk of inadvertently changing behaviour on big-endian systems (MIPS most likely, but a few old ARM platforms run BE as well).

You probably don't need to bother making these conditional - 32-bit architectures aren't forbidden from providing readq/writeq if they really want to, and drivers can also use the io-64-nonatomic headers for portability. The build will still fail in a sufficiently obvious manner if neither is true.

Thanks,
Robin.
