vt: remove superfluous CONFIG_HW_CONSOLE

The config HW_CONSOLE is always identical to the config VT and is not
visible in the kernel's build menuconfig. So, CONFIG_HW_CONSOLE is
redundant.

Replace all references to CONFIG_HW_CONSOLE with CONFIG_VT and remove
CONFIG_HW_CONSOLE.

fbdev/tgafb: Initialize fb_ops to fbdev I/O-memory helpers

Initialize the instance of struct fb_ops with fbdev initializer
macros for framebuffers in I/O address space. Set the read/write,
draw and mmap callbacks to the correct implementation and avoid
implicit defaults. Also select the necessary I/O helpers in Kconfig.

Fbdev drivers sometimes rely on the callbacks being NULL for a
default implementation to be invoked; hence requiring the I/O
helpers to be built in any case. Setting all callbacks in all
drivers explicitly will allow to make the I/O helpers optional.
This benefits systems that do not use these functions.

No functional changes.

fbdev: Remove FBINFO_DEFAULT from framebuffer_alloc()'ed structs

The flag FBINFO_DEFAULT is 0 and has no effect, as struct fbinfo.flags
has been allocated to zero by framebuffer_alloc(). So do not set it.

Flags should signal differences from the default values. After cleaning
up all occurrences of FBINFO_DEFAULT, the token will be removed.

v4:
* clarify commit message (Geert, Dan)
v2:
* fix commit message (Miguel)

fbdev: tgafb: Fix potential divide by zero

fb_set_var would by called when user invokes ioctl with cmd
FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO. User-provided data would finally reach
tgafb_check_var. In case var->pixclock is assigned to zero,
divide by zero would occur when checking whether reciprocal
of var->pixclock is too high.

Similar crashes have happened in other fbdev drivers. There
is no check and modification on var->pixclock along the call
chain to tgafb_check_var. We believe it could also be triggered
in driver tgafb from user site.

fbdev: Add support for the nomodeset kernel parameter

Support the kernel's nomodeset parameter for all PCI-based fbdev
drivers that use aperture helpers to remove other, hardware-agnostic
graphics drivers.

The parameter is a simple way of using the firmware-provided scanout
buffer if the hardware's native driver is broken. The same effect
could be achieved with per-driver options, but the importance of the
graphics output for many users makes a single, unified approach
worthwhile.

With nomodeset specified, the fbdev driver module will not load. This
unifies behavior with similar DRM drivers. In DRM helpers, modules
first check the nomodeset parameter before registering the PCI
driver. As fbdev has no such module helpers, we have to modify each
driver individually.

The name 'nomodeset' is slightly misleading, but has been chosen for
historical reasons. Several drivers implemented it before it became a
general option for DRM. So keeping the existing name was preferred over
introducing a new one.

v2:
* print a warning if a driver does not init (Helge)
* wrap video_firmware_drivers_only() in helper

fbdev: Remove conflicting devices on PCI bus

Remove firmware devices on the PCI bus, by calling
aperture_remove_conflicting_pci_devices() in the probe function of
each related fbdev driver. iSo far, most of these drivers did not
remove conflicting VESA or EFI devices, or outride failed for
resource conflicts (i.e., matroxfb.) This must have been broken
for quite some time.

video: constify fb ops across all drivers

Now that the fbops member of struct fb_info is const, we can start
making the ops const as well.

This does not cover all drivers; some actually modify the fbops struct,
for example to adjust for different configurations, and others do more
involved things that I'd rather not touch in practically obsolete
drivers. Mostly this is the low hanging fruit where we can add "const"
and be done with it.

v3:
- un-constify atyfb, mb862xx, nvidia and uvesabf (0day)

v2:
- fix typo (Christophe de Dinechin)
- use "static const" instead of "const static" in mx3fb.c
- also constify smscufx.c

video: fbdev: don't print error message on framebuffer_alloc() failure

framebuffer_alloc() can fail only on kzalloc() memory allocation
failure and since kzalloc() will print error message in such case
we can omit printing extra error message in drivers (which BTW is
what the majority of framebuffer_alloc() users is doing already).

video: move fbdev to drivers/video/fbdev

The drivers/video directory is a mess. It contains generic video related
files, directories for backlight, console, linux logo, lots of fbdev
device drivers, fbdev framework files.

Make some order into the chaos by creating drivers/video/fbdev
directory, and move all fbdev related files there.

No functionality is changed, although I guess it is possible that some
subtle Makefile build order related issue could be created by this
patch.
