If system starts without attached monitor, DRM create framebuffer
for VT console. Later, when monitor is attached, the hotplug event must
issue full modeset procedure to setup CRTC.
In original code, this was done in drm_fb_helper_set_par(), but we don't
have this function implemented yet. Use unrolled version of
drm_fb_helper_set_par() to ensure same functionality.

taskqueue_enqueue() was changed to support both fast and non-fast
taskqueues 10 years ago in r154167. It has been a compat shim ever
since. It's time for the compat shim to go.

This update brings few features:
o Support for the setmaster/dropmaster ioctls. For instance, they
are used to run multiple X servers simultaneously.
o Support for minor devices. The only user-visible change is a new
entry in /dev/dri but it is useless at the moment. This is a
first step to support render nodes [1].
The main benefit is to greatly reduce the diff with Linux (at the
expense of an unreadable commit diff). Hopefully, next upgrades will be
easier.
No updates were made to the drivers, beside adapting them to API
changes.

The main purpose of this feature is to be able to unload a KMS driver.
When going back from the current vt(4) backend to the previous backend,
the previous backend is reinitialized with the special VDF_DOWNGRADE
flag set. Then the current driver is terminated with the new "vd_fini"
callback.
In the case of vt_fb and vt_vga, this allows the former to pass the
vgapci device vt_fb used to vt_vga so the device can be rePOSTed.

commit 4d93914ae3db4a897ead4b. Some related drm infrastructure
changes are imported as needed.
Biggest update is the rewrite of the i915 gem io to more closely
follow Linux model, althought the mechanism used by FreeBSD port is
different.

... and their associated tunables. This gives a way to know the list of
available connectors, no matter the driver.
The problem is that xrandr(1) can list connectors but it uses a
different naming.

By default, vt(4) gets the "preferred mode" from DRM, when using a DRM
video driver as its backend. The preferred mode is usually the native
screen resolution.
Now, if this mode isn't appropriate, a user can use loader tunables to
select a mode. The tunables are read in the following order:
1. kern.vt.fb.modes.$connector_name
2. kern.vt.fb.default_mode
For example, to set a 1024x768 mode, no matter the connector:
kern.vt.fb.default_mode="1024x768"
To set a 800x600 mode only on the laptop builtin screen:
kern.vt.fb.modes.LVDS-1="800x600"

If DDB is active, we can't use a taskqueue thread to switch away from
the X window, because this thread can't run.
