Subject: [PATCH v3 0/5] console: Miscellaneous clean-ups, do not use FNTCHARCNT() in fbcon.c

Hi all,

This is a collection of some miscellaneous clean-ups for fbcon and some
console drivers. Since v2, I rebased them on linux-next, added some
Reviewed-by: tags from Daniel and Greg, and rewrote the commit messages as
suggested by Jiri. See [1] for v2 links.

It does the following:

  - Garbage collect KD_FONT_OP_COPY callbacks since we disabled it
    recently. Mark it as obsolete.
  - Delete dummy con_font_op() callbacks. (Reviewed by Greg)

  - Add a charcount field to our new font descriptor, `struct font_desc`.
    (Reviewed by Daniel)
  - Do not use a hard-coded 256 for built-in font charcount in
    console/sticore.c, use the new charcount field of `struct font_desc`
    instead. (Reviewed by Daniel)
  - Similarly, in fbcon.c, avoid using the magic negative-indexing macro,
    FNTCHARCNT(). Set `vc->vc_font.charcount` properly and always use that
    instead.

Daniel, hopefully [5/5] removes FNTCHARCNT() for ever, but I have not
tested it sufficiently yet. I remember you mentioned elsewhere that
"fbtest.c" is insufficient for framebuffer testing, then how should we
test it? The first 4 patches should be fine.

Please reference commit messages for more information. Thank you!
