This patch replaces ast's framebuffer console with DRM's generic
implememtation. All respective code is being removed from the driver.
The console is set up with a shadow buffer. The actual buffer object is
not permanently pinned in video ram, but just another buffer object that
the driver moves in and out of vram as necessary. The driver's function
ast_crtc_do_set_base() used to contain special handling for the framebuffer
console. With the new generic framebuffer, the driver does not need this
code an longer.
v2:
* use drm_fb_helper_set_suspend_unlocked() in ast_drm_{thaw,freeze}()
* dirty function no longer required

This is the initial attempt at porting the DP501 code from the userspace
driver,
the firmware file is in
http://people.freedesktop.org/~airlied/ast_dp501_fw.bin
this should really be exposed as another encoder/connector that is cloneable
v0.2:
init 3rd tx properly,
add scratch reduction of VRAM size
backup firmware properly.

This is the initial driver for the Aspeed Technologies chips found in
servers. This driver supports the AST 2000, 2100, 2200, 2150 and 2300. It
doesn't support the AST11xx due to lack of hw to test it on, and them requiring
different codepaths.
This driver is intended to be used with xf86-video-modesetting in userspace.
This driver has a slightly different design than other KMS drivers, but
future server chips will probably share similiar setup. As these GPUs commonly
have low video RAM, it doesn't make sense to put the kms console in VRAM
always. This driver places the kms console into system RAM, and does dirty
updates to a copy in video RAM. When userspace sets a new scanout buffer,
it forcefully evicts the video RAM console, and X can create a framebuffer
that can use all of of video RAM.
This driver uses TTM but in a very simple fashion to control the eviction
to system RAM of the console, and multiple servers.
v2: add s/r support, fix Kconfig.
