fbdev: mm: Deferred IO support
This implements deferred IO support in fbdev. Deferred IO is a way to delay
and repurpose IO. This implementation is done using mm's page_mkwrite and
page_mkclean hooks in order to detect, delay and then rewrite IO. This
functionality is used by hecubafb.
[adaplas]
This is useful for graphics hardware with no directly addressable/mappable
framebuffer. Implementing this will allow the "framebuffer" to be accesible
from user space via mmap().
