docs: fb: convert docs to ReST and rename to *.rst The conversion is actually: - add blank lines and identation in order to identify paragraphs; - fix tables markups; - add some lists markups; - mark literal blocks; - adjust title markups. At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings. Also, removed the Maintained by, as requested by Geert.

This is a graphics framebuffer driver for AMD Geode LX based processors.
Advantages:
* No need to use AMD's VSA code (or other VESA emulation layer) in the
BIOS.
* It provides a nice large console (128 cols + 48 lines with 1024x768)
without using tiny, unreadable fonts.
* You can run XF68_FBDev on top of /dev/fb0
* Most important: boot logo :-)
Disadvantages:
* graphic mode is slower than text mode...
How to use it?
==============
Switching modes is done using lxfb.mode_option=<resolution>... boot

For example, lxfb.mode_option=800x600@75.

mode_option specify the video mode. Of the form
<x>x<y>[-<bpp>][@<refresh>]
vram size of video ram (normally auto-detected)
vt_switch enable vt switching during suspend/resume. The vt
switch is slow, but harmless.
