uvesafb is an enhanced version of vesafb.  It uses a userspace helper (v86d)
to execute calls to the x86 Video BIOS functions.  The driver is not limited
to any specific arch and whether it works on a given arch or not depends on
that arch being supported by the userspace daemon.  It has been tested on
x86_32 and x86_64.

A single BIOS call is represented by an instance of the uvesafb_ktask
structure.  This structure contains a buffer, a completion struct and a
uvesafb_task substructure, containing the values of the x86 registers, a flags
field and a field indicating the length of the buffer.  Whenever a BIOS call
is made in the driver, uvesafb_exec() builds a message using the uvesafb_task
substructure and the contents of the buffer.  This message is then assigned a
random ack number and sent to the userspace daemon using the connector
interface.

The message's sequence number is used as an index for the uvfb_tasks array,
which provides a mapping from the messages coming from userspace to the
in-kernel uvesafb_ktask structs.

The userspace daemon performs the requested operation and sends a reply in the
form of a uvesafb_task struct and, optionally, a buffer.  The seq and ack
numbers in the reply should be exactly the same as those in the request.

Each message from userspace is processed by uvesafb_cn_callback() and after
passing a few sanity checks leads to the completion of a BIOS call request.

Fixes STN LCD support for the atmel_lcdfb framebuffer driver.

This patch is the result of a work from Jan Altenberg and has
been tested on a Hitachi SP06Q002 on at91sam9261ek.

It adds a Kconfig switch that enables the proper LCD in the
board configuration file (STN or TFT). The switch is used
in arch/arm/mach-at91/at91sam9261_devices.c & board-sam9261ek.c
as an example.

This patch includes the "Fix wrong line_length calculation"
little one from Jan and Haavard (submitted earlier).

AT91 platform informations are directly submitted trough

The SH board that was the only user for this code was removed entirely from
the kernel quite some time ago, so there's no reason to leave the stubs in
place.  Additionally this driver was completely broken anyways, so there's
not really a lot of point in fixing it up either.

I can't imagine that this driver gets any testing on ARM either, given that
FB_BLANK_UNBLANKING doesn't exist, and kills the build regardless of which
platform is compiling.  This fixes that, too.

It wouldn't be a lot of work to finish the platform device conversion and
go with a generic 8-bit read/write_reg and kill off the architecture
dependence completely, should someone have any use for this driver.

Requires CONFIG_VIDEO_OUTPUT_CONTROL and CONFIG_ACPI_VIDEO.

After loading output.ko and video.ko, you would have
/sys/class/video_output and several device acpi_videoNum there.

For example, I got acpi_video0, acpi_video1,acpi_video2,and acpi_video3
under /sys/class/video_output on my T40.
I can query the status of  output device0 by running " cat
/sys/class/video_output/acpi_video0
" The return value is defined in ACPI SPEC B.5.5 _DCS(Return the
Status of Output Device).  Also you can turn off video1 and turn on
video0  by " echo 0 > acpi_video1; echo 0x80000000 > acpi_video0".
Please reference ACPI SPEC  B.5.7 _DSS for the parameter definition.

Please note that it may or may NOT works purely depending on if
your vendor providing correct ACPI video extension support in bios.
the driver output.ko and video.ko just works like a interface to
invoke BIOS.
