Florian Tobias Schandinat 31de59d5e1 viafb: hardware acceleration initialization cleanup
The main motivation of this patch was to merge the three initialization
functions in one and clean it up. However as some changes in other code
areas where needed to do it right some small other changes were made.

Changes to viafb_par:

io_virt renamed as engine_mmio and moved to shared
VQ_start renamed as vq_vram_addr and moved to shared
VQ_end removed as it is easily recalculatable

vq_vram_addr is not strictly needed but keep it to track where we
allocated video memory.  The memory allocated for the virtual queue was
shrunk to VQ_SIZE as VQ_SIZE+CURSOR_SIZE looked like a bug to me.  But to
be honest I don't have the faintest idea what virtual queues are for in
the graphic hardware and whether the driver needs them in any way.  I only
know that they aren't directly accessed by the driver and so the only
potential current use would be as hardware internal buffers.  For now keep
them to avoid regressions and only remove the double cursor allocation.

The most changes were caused by renames and the mentioned structure
changes so the chance of regressions is pretty low.  The meaning of
viafb_accel changed slightly as previously it was changed back and forth
in the code and allowed to enable the hardware acceleration by software if
previously disabled.  The new behaviour is that viafb_accel=0 always
prevents hardware acceleration.  With viafb_accel!=0 the acceleration can
be freely choosen by set_var.  This means viafb_accel is a diagnostic tool
and if someone has to use viafb_accel=0 the driver needs to be fixed.

As this is mostly a code cleanup no regressions beside the slightly change
of viafb_accel is expected.

Florian Tobias Schandinat 5016af53eb viafb: cleanup viafb_cursor
Clean the hardware cursor handling up.

The most notable change is that it no longer buffers the values in
viacursor but uses the ones in cursor instead as they are guaranteed to be
always valid.

Furthermore it uses local instead global variables where possible, moves
the cursor variable in shared as only one hardware cursor is supported and
returns an error if memory allocation fails.  Last but not least it fixes
a too small buffer (as u32 has only 4 and not 32 bytes) but this did not
produce any known problems.

This is mostly a code cleanup, no negative runtime changes are expected.

Florian Tobias Schandinat db88e382a0 viafb: clean up virtual memory handling
Clean the handling of ioremapped video memory up.  The following changes
were made:

info->screen_base - viafb_FB_MM
(VRAM offset calculation) was replaced by
info->fix.smem_start - viafbinfo->fix.smem_start
which is essentially the same calculation but done with physical instead
virtual addresses.

*->fbmem_virt
was replaced by
viafbinfo->screen_base
This is true for viafbinfo and viafbinfo1 as the par pointers are equal.

An early initialization of viafbinfo1->fix.smem* was removed as done later
in viafb_setup_fixinfo.

This patch highlights that the only usage of the ioremapped video memory
in the driver is for hardware cursor handling.  Even if it has to hold the
used virtual screen mapped for old-fashioned read/write calls (vs.
mmap'ed) a lot virtual memory could be saved by only ioremapping on
demand.

Code cleanup, no runtime changes expected.
