For drivers which might want to disable fbdev legacy support.
Select the new option in all drivers for now, so this shouldn't result
in any change. Drivers need some work anyway to make fbdev support
optional (if they have it implemented, that is), so the recommended
way to expose this is by adding per-driver options. At least as long
as most drivers don't support disabling the fbdev support.
v2: Update for new drm drivers msm and rcar-du. Note that Rob's msm
driver can already take advantage of this, which allows us to build
msm without any fbdev depencies in the kernel!
v3: Move the MODULE_* stuff from the fbdev helper file to
drm_crtc_helper.c.

The CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL config item has not carried much meaning for a
while now and is almost always enabled by default. As agreed during the
Linux kernel summit, remove it from any "depends on" lines in Kconfigs.

This is the initial driver for the Aspeed Technologies chips found in
servers. This driver supports the AST 2000, 2100, 2200, 2150 and 2300. It
doesn't support the AST11xx due to lack of hw to test it on, and them requiring
different codepaths.
This driver is intended to be used with xf86-video-modesetting in userspace.
This driver has a slightly different design than other KMS drivers, but
future server chips will probably share similiar setup. As these GPUs commonly
have low video RAM, it doesn't make sense to put the kms console in VRAM
always. This driver places the kms console into system RAM, and does dirty
updates to a copy in video RAM. When userspace sets a new scanout buffer,
it forcefully evicts the video RAM console, and X can create a framebuffer
that can use all of of video RAM.
This driver uses TTM but in a very simple fashion to control the eviction
to system RAM of the console, and multiple servers.
v2: add s/r support, fix Kconfig.
