Subject: [PATCH 5.16 0189/1017] drm/fb-helper: Mark screen buffers in system memory with FBINFO_VIRTFB

From: Thomas Zimmermann <tzimmermann@...e.de>

commit cd9f7f7ac5932129fe81b4c7559cfcb226ec7c5c upstream.

Mark screen buffers in system memory with FBINFO_VIRTFB. Otherwise, fbdev
deferred I/O marks mmap'ed areas of system memory with VM_IO. (There's an
inverse relationship between the two flags.)

For shadow buffers, also set the FBINFO_READS_FAST hint.

v3:
	* change FB_ to FBINFO_ in commit description
v2:
	* updated commit description (Daniel)
	* added Fixes tag
