This fixes a bug caused by changing pointers (viafb_mode, viafb_mode1)
assigned by module_param. It reduces driver complexity by not needlessly
changing these vars as they are only read once and removing now
superfluous code.
On unpatched kernels loading viafb with viafb_mode or viafb_mode1 option
used and afterwards unloading it results in:

This is caused by the current code changing the pointers assigned by
module_param. During unload it tries to free the memory the pointers
point at which is now part of an internal structure.
The patch simply avoids changing the pointers. This is okay as they are
read only once during the initialization process.

Fix a bug in viafb on x86_64 builds (e.g. for VIA Nano CPU).
You cannot make the assumption that sizeof(unsigned int) ==
sizeof(unsigned long), so the parsing of the default mode (640x480) fails,
leading to a division by zero during insmod of the driver.

Setting ->owner as done currently (pde->owner = THIS_MODULE) is racy
as correctly noted at bug #12454. Someone can lookup entry with NULL
->owner, thus not pinning enything, and release it later resulting
in module refcount underflow.
We can keep ->owner and supply it at registration time like ->proc_fops
and ->data.
But this leaves ->owner as easy-manipulative field (just one C assignment)
and somebody will forget to unpin previous/pin current module when
switching ->owner. ->proc_fops is declared as "const" which should give
some thoughts.
->read_proc/->write_proc were just fixed to not require ->owner for
protection.
rmmod'ed directories will be empty and return "." and ".." -- no harm.
And directories with tricky enough readdir and lookup shouldn't be modular.
We definitely don't want such modular code.
Removing ->owner will also make PDE smaller.
So, let's nuke it.
Kudos to Jeff Layton for reminding about this, let's say, oversight.

The function viafb_cursor() uses 2 stack-variables of CURSOR_SIZE bits;
CURSOR_SIZE is defined as (8 * 1024). Using up twice 1k on stack is too
much for 4k-stack (though it works with 8k-stacks). Make those two
variables kzalloc'ed to preserve stack space.
Also merge the whole lot of local struct's in viafb_ioctl into a union so
the stack usage gets minimized here as well. (struct's are only accessed
in their indicidual IOCTL case) This second part is only compile-tested as
I know of no userspace app using the IOCTLs.

Remove the macro MMIO_OUT32, and replace it with writel() function.
And replace "u32" with "unsigned long" in writel() function (original
MMIO_OUT32 marco) for avoiding warning message in 64bit OS.
