For speeding up rendering we need shadow framebuffers. This is currently
implemented in the gui functions. This does not work properly when two
users (splash and fbconsole) use the same framebuffer since in this case
two different shadow framebuffers will be used. This patch implements
shadowfb handling in the fb core directly. With this the fb device gets
a parameter 'shadowfb'. When this is true the fb core will allocate a
shadow fb and provide it to the users.

This patch realizes framebuffer console support for barebox. It
supports colors and enough escape sequences to show the barebox
console and editor properly.
fbconsole mini-HOWTO
====================
1. compile sandbox barebox with
CONFIG_VIDEO=y
CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE=y
CONFIG_DRIVER_VIDEO_SDL=y
2. run barebox
3. test fbconsole
fbconsole0.active=oe

Complex video pipelines are modelled with the of_graph bindings in
the devicetree. This patch adds a ioctl infrastructure to issue
commands to the remote endpoint of a of_graph. Currently defined
ioctls are prepare/unprepare, enable/disable and get_modes. This
is enough to control LVDS or HDMI encoder or simple panels.
A device node which contains of_graph endpoints can be registered
as a VPL entity. An entity can receive ioctls via the .ioctl callback
and also issue ioctls by calling vpl_ioctl. The core itself will never
iterate over the entire pipeline. Instead, the different VPL entities
should forward an ioctl to the next instance in the pipeline whenever
necessary.

When a framebuffer is kept enabled when Linux starts its framebuffer
memory should be reserved. Otherwise Linux may overwrite its contents.

We have dev_add_param_enum() now, so use it for the mode_name
setting. Also drop the special case for single mode framebuffers,
just add the mode_name parameter for this case aswell.

And use it inside struct fb_info. This struct has the advantage
that the supported modes can be passed around in a single pointer.

barebox does not need the screen size directly, but we pass the
framebuffer to Linux via simnplefb it is desirable to pass the
full size of the framebuffer. Default to calculated values from
the screen resolution.

Add support for framebuffers with noncontiguous horizontal lines.
Video drivers can set this value if the hardware requires it.
In case a driver does not set it, the current value of
xres * (bpp / 8) is used instead.

Change device parameters so that the memory management is in generic
code. This also removes the need of storing statically initialized
parameters as they are stored in a struct list_head for each device.
