ae2ee627dc efifb: Add support for 64-bit frame buffer addresses
The EFI Graphics Output Protocol uses 64-bit frame buffer addresses
but these get truncated to 32-bit by the EFI boot stub when storing
the address in the 'lfb_base' field of 'struct screen_info'.

Add a 'ext_lfb_base' field for the upper 32-bits of the frame buffer
address and set VIDEO_TYPE_CAPABILITY_64BIT_BASE when the field is
useable.

It turns out that the reason no one has required this support so far
is that there's actually code in tianocore to "downgrade" PCI
resources that have option ROMs and 64-bit BARS from 64-bit to 32-bit
to cope with legacy option ROMs that can't handle 64-bit addresses.
The upshot is that basically all GOP devices in the wild use a 32-bit
frame buffer address.

Still, it is possible to build firmware that uses a full 64-bit GOP
frame buffer address. Chad did, which led to him reporting this issue.

Add support in anticipation of GOP devices using 64-bit addresses more
widely, and so that efifb works out of the box when that happens.

A platform_driver does not need to set an owner, it will be populated by the
driver core.

20cde69402 x86, ia64: Move EFI_FB vga_default_device() initialization to pci_vga_fixup()
Commit b4aa016305 ("efifb: Implement vga_default_device() (v2)") added
efifb vga_default_device() so EFI systems that do not load shadow VBIOS or
setup VGA get proper value for boot_vga PCI sysfs attribute on the
corresponding PCI device.

Xorg doesn't detect devices when boot_vga=0, e.g., on some EFI systems such
as MacBookAir2,1.  Xorg detects the GPU and finds the DRI device but then
bails out with "no devices detected".

Note: When vga_default_device() is set boot_vga PCI sysfs attribute
reflects its state.  When unset this attribute is 1 whenever
IORESOURCE_ROM_SHADOW flag is set.

With introduction of sysfb/simplefb/simpledrm efifb is getting obsolete
while having native drivers for the GPU also makes selecting sysfb/efifb
optional.

Remove the efifb implementation of vga_default_device() and initialize
vgaarb's vga_default_device() with the PCI GPU that matches boot
screen_info in pci_fixup_video().

f7018c2135 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.
