97922b5462 viafb: fix acceleration for some chips
Fix a regression in hardware acceleration which made the accelerated
framebuffer unusable on some chips.  These need extra initialization and
an extra flag which is no longer needed/available on current chips.

3a32456909 viafb: choose acceleration engine for VX855
Enable 2D hardware acceleration on VX855 for copyarea, imageblit and
fillrect by selecting the correct engine which is the same as in VX800.

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.

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.

c3e2567384 viafb: 2D engine rewrite
This patch is a completly rewritten 2D engine.  The engine is no longer in
a default state but reinitialized every time to allow usage for both
framebuffers regardless of their settings.

The whole engine handling is concentrated in a big function which takes 16
parameters.  Although the number of parameters is worryingly it is good to
have a single funtion to deal with this stuff as it allows to easily
support different engines and avoids some code duplication.

On the way support for the new 2D engine in VX800 was added.  As the with
less code duplication but it is probably better to duplicate the code as
this way is easier to walk if VIA ever decides to release a new engine
which changes anything the driver touches.

The engine support for VX800 gives a notable boost in speed.  There are no
known regressions but as this patch changes paths I do neither have the
hardware nor documentation to check and has the possibility to put the
system in a critical state heavy testing is appreciated.

81228a36a5 viafb: merge viafb_update_viafb_par in viafb_update_fix
Shrink and merge viafb_update_viafb_par.  This removes a lot of duplicated
data in viafb_par.  Use the relevant data of fb_info instead.  On the way
it removes an inconsistency in handling a second framebuffer which only
worked because viafbinfo1->par is modified to point to the same viafb_par
as viafbinfo->par.

Code cleanup only, no runtime change expected.
