viafb: make procfs entries optional
This patch adds a config option to enable procfs entries for direct
hardware access. This was the old behaviour but the option defaults
to no as this is really ugly and should not be needed if the driver
works correct (and if it doesn't, it needs to be fixed).
That stuff is really something that should
- not be needed at all (the driver should be capable of doing it)
- not be there (debugfs would be better for such things)
So add this option just for backwards compatiblity.

viafb: fix proc entry removal
Trying to remove unregistered proc entries became painful and is
useless anyway. So remove the removal of an entry that was never
registered and duplicate the logic for one which is added
conditionally. Additionally move the removal above releasing fb_info
as we still need the information.
This prevents tainting the kernel by the procfs warn on and
avoiding access to already freed memory is probably also a good idea.

viafb: improve misc register handling
This patch improves the misc register handling by adding a modify
function for this to via_io.h and moving expanded definitions of the
relevant ports there. The code was changed to use those to improve
readability.

viafb: replace inb/outb
This patch replaces occurences of inb/outb with via_write_reg and
via_write_reg_mask where this is possible to improve code
readability.

viafb: move some modesetting functions to a seperate file
This patch moves the modesetting functions which are already cleaned up
to a seperate file.
Just the beginning to bring some structure in this mess.

viafb: unify modesetting functions
This patch unifies some cleaned up modesetting functions to prepare for
moving them to an extra file. This includes make them use via_io and
changing there names to reflect that they do not depend on anything
framebuffer specific.
Signed-off-by: Florian Tobias Schandinat <FlorianSchandinat@gmx.de>
The camera engine captures to framebuffer memory, so we need to set some
aside for that purpose. There is no proper memory allocator for fbmem;
instead, accel.c just trims some space off the top. Alas, without creating
that proper memory allocator, the only way to make this work is to hack it
into the same bit of code in accel.c. The allocation must happen *after*
the others (some code, including user-space XV stuff, makes assumptions on
where the cursor space is), and before the rest of the framebuffer is set
up.
