Completely different approach: Instead of encoding each and every
framebuffer update as spice operation simply update the shadow
framebuffer and maintain a dirty rectangle. Also schedule a worker
to push an update for the dirty rectangle as spice operation. Usually
a bunch of dirty rectangle updates are collected before the worker
actually runs.
What changes: Updates get batched now. Instead of sending tons of
small updates a few large ones are sent. When the same region is
updated multiple times within a short timeframe (scrolling multiple
lines for example) we send a single update only. Spice server has an
easier job now: The dependency tree for display operations which spice
server maintains for lazy rendering is alot smaller now. Spice server's
image compression probably works better too with the larger image blits.
Net effect: framebuffer console @ qxldrmfb is an order of magnitude
faster now.

Make drm_fb_helper_initial_config() return an int rather than a bool so
that the error can be properly propagated. While at it, update drivers
to propagate errors further rather than just ignore them.
v2:
- cirrus: No cleanup is required, the top-level cirrus_driver_load()
will do it as part of cirrus_driver_unload() in its cleanup path.

To implement hotplug detection in a race-free manner, drivers must call
drm_kms_helper_poll_init() before hotplug events can be triggered. Such
events can be triggered right after any of the encoders or connectors
are initialized. At the same time, if the drm_fb_helper_hotplug_event()
helper is used by a driver, then the poll helper requires some parts of
the FB helper to be initialized to prevent a crash.
At the same time, drm_fb_helper_init() requires information that is not
necessarily available at such an early stage (number of CRTCs and
connectors), so it cannot be used yet.
Add a new helper, drm_fb_helper_prepare(), that initializes the bare
minimum needed to allow drm_kms_helper_poll_init() to execute and any
subsequent hotplug events to be processed properly.

There's no need for this to be modifiable. Make it const so that it can
be put into the .rodata section.

we will oops in memcpy due to this pointless multiply here,
removing it fixes fbdev to start and not oops.

Due to the nature of qxl hw we cannot queue operations while in an irq
context, so we queue these operations as best we can until atomic allocations
fail, and dequeue them later in a work queue.
Daniel looked over the locking on the list and agrees it should be sufficent.
The atomic allocs use no warn, as the last thing we want if we haven't memory
to allocate space for a printk in an irq context is more printks.

This adds support for a default of 4 heads, with a command line
parameter to change the default number.
It also overhauls the modesetting code to handle this case properly,
and send the correct things to the hardware at the right time.

Many of the drivers didn't implement palette/gamma handling, but were forced
to provide stubs for the hooks to avoid drm_fb_helper from oopsing. Now that
the hooks are optional, we can eliminate all the stubs.

QXL is a paravirtual graphics device used by the Spice virtual desktop
interface.
The drivers uses GEM and TTM to manage memory, the qxl hw fencing however
is quite different than normal TTM expects, we have to keep track of a number
of non-linear fence ids per bo that we need to have released by the hardware.
The releases are freed from a workqueue that wakes up and processes the
release ring.
releases are suballocated from a BO, there are 3 release categories, drawables,
surfaces and cursor cmds. The hw also has 3 rings for commands, cursor and release handling.
The hardware also have a surface id tracking mechnaism and the driver encapsulates it completely inside the kernel, userspace never sees the actual hw surface
ids.
This requires a newer version of the QXL userspace driver, so shouldn't be
enabled until that has been placed into your distro of choice.
