Patch adds an fb_flush() method which drains DMA buffers allocated by
the framebuffer driver. This allows to use non-coherent memory which
can be flushed by tools like 'bmp' or 'mw' by calling flush().
Unfortunately, DMA stuff is very specific to the architecture so that
patch has an effect to ARM only.
