arm64 is unlikely to have a VGA console and does not export screen_info
causing build failures if the driver is build, for example in all*config.
Add a dependency on !ARM64 to prevent this.
This list is getting quite long, it may be easier to depend on a symbol
which architectures that do support the driver can select.

fbdev provides framebuffer hotplugging, hence, we need to allow fbcon to
unbind from framebuffers. Unfortunately, fbcon_fb_unbind() cannot unbind
from the last framebuffer, unless console-unbinding is supported.
Fixing fbcon_unbind() to return 0 caused some horrible NULL-derefs in the
VT layer and I couldn't figure out why. Hence, lets just require
console-unbinding so fbdev hotplugging works with fbcon.

Several drivers need font support independent of CONFIG_VT, cfr. commit
9cbce8d7e1dae0744ca4f68d62aa7de18196b6f4, "console/font: Refactor font
support code selection logic").
Hence move the fonts and their support logic from drivers/video/console/ to
its own library directory lib/fonts/.
This also allows to limit processing of drivers/video/console/Makefile to
CONFIG_VT=y again.

The current Makefile rules to build font support are messy and buggy.
Replace them by Kconfig rules:
- Introduce CONFIG_FONT_SUPPORT, which controls the building of all font
code,
- Select CONFIG_FONT_SUPPORT for all drivers that use fonts,
- Select CONFIG_FONT_8x16 for all drivers that default to the VGA8x16
font,
- Drop the bogus console dependency for CONFIG_VIDEO_VIVI,
- Always process drivers/video/console/Makefile, as some drivers need
fonts even if CONFIG_VT is not set.
This fixes (if CONFIG_SOLO6X10=y and there are no built-in console
drivers):
drivers/built-in.o: In function `solo_osd_print':
drivers/staging/media/solo6x10/solo6x10-enc.c:144: undefined reference to `.find_font'
This fixes (if CONFIG_VT=n):
drivers/built-in.o: In function `vivi_init':
vivi.c:(.init.text+0x1a3da): undefined reference to `find_font'

The frame buffer console needs at least one font to be built into
the kernel, so add the necessary Kconfig magic to guarantee that
one of the available font is always on. If a user accidentally
disables all fonts manually, the 8x16 font will be selected
anyway.

These comments mention CONFIG options that do not exist: not as a symbol
in a Kconfig file (without the CONFIG_ prefix) and neither as a symbol
(with that prefix) in the code.
There's one reference to XSCALE_PMU_TIMER as a negative dependency.
But XSCALE_PMU_TIMER is never defined (CONFIG_XSCALE_PMU_TIMER is
also unused in the code). It shows up with type "unknown" if you search
for it in menuconfig. Apparently a negative dependency on an unknown
symbol is always true. That negative dependency can be removed too.

The meaning of CONFIG_EMBEDDED has long since been obsoleted; the option
is used to configure any non-standard kernel with a much larger scope than
only small devices.
This patch renames the option to CONFIG_EXPERT in init/Kconfig and fixes
references to the option throughout the kernel. A new CONFIG_EMBEDDED
option is added that automatically selects CONFIG_EXPERT when enabled and
can be used in the future to isolate options that should only be
considered for embedded systems (RISC architectures, SLOB, etc).
Calling the option "EXPERT" more accurately represents its intention: only
expert users who understand the impact of the configuration changes they
are making should enable it.

Otherwise we have to disable it manually to avoid compile errors.
Now it's only enabled only for the selected machines as suggested
by Anton Vorontsov <cbouatmailru@gmail.com>:
$ git grep VGA_CONSOLE= arch/arm/configs/
arch/arm/configs/footbridge_defconfig:CONFIG_VGA_CONSOLE=y
arch/arm/configs/integrator_defconfig:CONFIG_VGA_CONSOLE=y
arch/arm/configs/netwinder_defconfig:CONFIG_VGA_CONSOLE=y

for ARCH_ACORN, ARCH_EBSA110 ARCH_VERSATILE.

trigger that.

Many years ago when this driver was written, it had a use, but these
days it's nothing but trouble and distributions should not enable it
in any situation.
Pretty much every console device a sparc machine could see has a
bonafide real driver, making the PROM console hack unnecessary.
If any new device shows up, we should write a driver instead of
depending upon this crutch to save us. We've been able to take care
of this even when no chip documentation exists (sunxvr500, sunxvr2500)
so there are no excuses.

Impact: cleanup
Video mode selection became always possible in 2.6.23-rc1 after i386 setup
code rewrite in C.
Regardless, VIDEO_SELECT is stupid config option because it affects only

Add architecture support for the MN10300/AM33 CPUs produced by MEI to the
kernel.
This patch also adds board support for the ASB2303 with the ASB2308 daughter
board, and the ASB2305. The only processor supported is the MN103E010, which
is an AM33v2 core plus on-chip devices.

Allow fbcon to select the primary display adapter using the
fb_is_primary_device() arch-specific helper. If a a primary adapter is
detected, fbcon will unbind the old adapter from the VT layer, then rebind
using the new adapter. This requires that bind_/unbind_con_driver() be made
public.
Because this feature may produce unexpected behavior (from the user's POV),
this must be explicitly enabled in Kconfig.

The scrollback buffer of the VGA console is located in VGA RAM. This RAM
is fixed in size and is very small. To make the scrollback buffer larger,
it must be placed instead in System RAM.
This patch adds this feature. The feature and the size of the buffer are
made as a kernel config option. Besides consuming kernel memory, this
feature will slow down the console by approximately 20%.
