Subject: [PATCH] Add new linearfb driver

Split out linearfb from efifb so that boot loaders can program it as a
simple linear framebuffer on non-EFI systems.  This is useful for boot
loaders with their own graphics drivers, e.g. GRUB 2, since in some
cases on x86 they can set up non-VESA modes and thus can't program
vesafb.

efifb is reworked on top of this common code, and it should be possible
to do the same with some other framebuffer drivers in future.
