The vtophys() function is used to get the physical page address for
the virtually allocated frame buffers when a physically continuous
memory area is not available. This change also allows removing the
masking of the FB_FLAG_NOMMAP flag in the PS3 syscons driver.
The FB and VT drivers were tested using X.org/xf86-video-scfb and
syscons.
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.

Also, split power_suspend into power_suspend and power_suspend_early.
power_suspend_early is called before the userland is frozen.
power_suspend is called after the userland is frozen.
Currently only VT switching is hooked to power_suspend_early.
This is needed because switching away from X server requires its
cooperation, so obviously X server must not be frozen when that happens.
Freezing userland during ACPI suspend is useful because not all drivers
correctly handle suspension concurrent with other activity. This is
especially applicable to drivers ported from other operating systems
that suspend all software activity between placing drivers and hardware
into suspended state.
In particular drm2/radeon (radeonkms) depends on the described
procedure. The driver does not have any internal synchronization
between suspension activities and processing of userland requests.
Many thanks to kib for the code that allows to freeze and thaw all
userland threads.
Note that ideally we also need to park / inhibit (non-special) kernel
threads as well to ensure that they do not call into drivers.

suspend/resume
The goal is to avoid that the vt(4) resume happens before the video
display is resumed. The original patch was provided by Andriy Gapon.
This new patch registers the handlers in vt_upgrade(). This is done
once, thanks to the VDF_ASYNC flag. I abused this flag because it was
already abused by the keyboard allocation. The event handlers then call
the backend if it provides callbacks for suspend/resume.

which prevents us from doing a "callout_drain()" call. The callout in
question has a lock associated with it and we are not freeing the
callout. That means we can use the "callout_stop()" function to
atomically stop the callback iff the "callout_stop()" function is
called locked. This patch applies proper locking to "callout_stop()"
and replaces a "callout_drain()" with a "callout_stop()".

Current VT drivers don't register the memory regions they use with the
nexus. This patch makes vt_vga and vt_efifb register the memory regions they
use.
This is needed (at least) for Xen support, since the FreeBSD kernel will try
to use the holes in the memory map to map memory from other domains and
setup it's grant table.

A new terminal_set_cursor() is added: it wraps the existing
teken_set_cursor() function.
In vtbuf_grow(), the cursor position is adjusted at the end of the
function. In vt_change_font(), we call terminal_set_cursor() just after
terminal_set_winsize_blank(), while the terminal is mute.
This fixes a bug where, after loading a kernel video driver which
increases the terminal window size, the cursor remains at its old
position, in other words, in the middle of the display content.

Add new functions to manipulate these mode & state, instead of calling
kbdd_ioctl() everyhere.
This fixes at least two bugs:
1. The state of the Scroll Lock LED and the state of scroll mode
could be out-of-sync. For instance, if one enables scroll mode on
window #1 and switches to window #2, the LED would remain on, but
the window wouldn't be in scroll mode.
Similarily, when switching between a console and an X.Org
session, the LED states could be inconsistent with the real
state.
2. When exiting from an X.Org session, the user could be unable to
type anything. The workaround was to switch to another console
window and come back.

It's now possible to scroll up the 500 hard-coded lines of history, not
just a fraction of them. For instance, one can reach the top of the boot
process.
Sometimes, when scrolling or when changing the screen size (by changing
the font or loading a KMS driver for instance), one could see the
history cycling (old content appeared below latest lines). This is
fixed.
Now, when the resolution changes are more lines can be shown, the
displayed area is adjusted so that, if the screen was filled with
content before, it's filled with content after as well: more history
is visible, instead of having blank lines below the previously visible
content.

This fixes a bug where scroll lock would not work for tty #0 when using
vt_vga's textmode. The reason was that this window is created with a
static 256x100 buffer, larger than the real size of 80x25.
Now, in vt_change_font() and vt_compute_drawable_area(), we still
perform operations even of the window has no font loaded (this is the
case in textmode here vw->vw_font == NULL). One of these operation
resizes the buffer accordingly.
In vt_compute_drawable_area(), we take the terminal size as is (ie.
80x25) for the drawable area.
The font argument to vt_set_border() is removed (it was never used) and
the code now uses the computed drawable area instead of re-doing its own
calculation.

There were two issues:
1. The area given to vt_is_cursor_in_area() was adding the drawable
area offset, something already handled by this function.
2. The cursor was shifted on the screen by the offset of this area
and thus was misplaced or not erased. Furthermore, when reaching
the bottom or right borders, the cursor was either totally
removed or not erased correctly.
