the foreground and background colours. In bitblt_text functions, compare
values to this cache and don't re-draw the characters if they haven't changed.
When invalidating the display, clear this cache in order to force characters
to be redrawn; also force full redraws between suspend/resume pairs since odd
artifacts can otherwise result.
When scrolling the display (which is where most time is spent within the vt
driver) this yields a significant performance improvement if most lines are
less than the width of the terminal, since this avoids re-drawing blanks on
top of blanks.
(Note that "re-drawing" here includes writing to the VGA text mode buffer; on
virtualized systems this can be extremely slow since it triggers a glyph
being rendered onto a 640x480 screen).
On a c5.4xlarge EC2 instance (with emulated text mode VGA) this cuts the time
spent in vt(4) during the kernel boot from 1200 ms to 700ms; on my laptop
(with a 3200x1800 display) the corresponding time is reduced from 970 ms down
to 155 ms.

Summary:
As in /dev/fb, allow the framebuffer driver to override the default memattr for
mmap(2). This is analogous to the change in 306555.

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using misidentified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
And rename "DEFAULT" constants to the more accurate "MAX."

size as defined by VT_FB_DEFAULT_WIDTH and VT_FB_DEFAULT_HEIGHT
(at this time 2048x1200). The default is really a max. We cap
the height and width to those defaults and position the screen
in the center of the frame buffer.
Ideally we use a bigger font to utility the entire real estate
that is the frame buffer, but that's seen as an improvement over
making it work first.

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.

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.

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.

This allows backends to verify they do not draw outside of this area.
This fixes a bug in vt_vga where the text was happily drawn over the
right and bottom margins, when using the Gallant font.

Rename vt_generate_vga_palette() to vt_generate_cons_palette() and
change it to build a palette where the color index is the same than in
terminal escape codes, not the VGA index. That's what TCHAR_CREATE()
uses and passes to vt(4).
The main differences between both orders are:
o Blue and red are swapped (1 <-> 4)
o Yellow and cyan are swapped (3 <-> 6)
The problem remained unnoticed, because the RGB bit indexes passed to
vt_generate_vga_palette() were reversed. This inversion was cancelled
by the colors inversions in the generated palette. For instance, red
(0xff0000) and blue (0x0000ff) have bytes in opposite order, but were
swapped in the palette. But after changing the value of blue (see last
paragraph), the modified color was in fact the red one.
This commit includes a fix to creator_vt.c, submitted by Nathan
Whitehorn: fb_cmsize is set to 16. Before this, the generated palette
would be overwritte. This fixes colors on sparc64 with a Creator3D
adapter.
While here, tune the palette to better match console colors and improve
the readability (especially the dark blue).

rather than only drivers attached later on. This involves a small amount of
code duplication with dev/fb/fbd.c, which will fixed later on.
Also improve performance of vt_blank() by making it not read from the
framebuffer unnecessarily.
o Forward termianl framebuffer ioctl to fbd.
o Forward terminal mmap request to fbd.
o Move inclusion of sys/conf.h to vt.h.
