Move the DRM buddy allocator one level up so that it can be used by GPU
drivers (example, nova-core) that have usecases other than DRM (such as
VFIO vGPU support). Modify the API, structures and Kconfigs to use
"gpu_buddy" terminology. Adapt the drivers and tests to use the new API.
The commit cannot be split due to bisectability, however no functional
change is intended. Verified by running K-UNIT tests and build tested
various configurations.

In the EFI config table, rename LINUX_EFI_SCREEN_INFO_TABLE_GUID to
LINUX_EFI_PRIMARY_DISPLAY_TABLE_GUID. Read sysfb_primary_display from
the entry. In addition to the screen_info, the entry now also contains
EDID information.
In libstub, replace struct screen_info with struct sysfb_display_info
from the kernel's sysfb_primary_display and rename functions
accordingly. Transfer it to the runtime kernel using the kernel's
global state or the LINUX_EFI_PRIMARY_DISPLAY_TABLE_GUID config-table
entry.
With CONFIG_FIRMWARE_EDID=y, libstub now transfers the GOP device's EDID
information to the kernel. If CONFIG_FIRMWARE_EDID=n, EDID information
is disabled. Make the Kconfig symbol CONFIG_FIRMWARE_EDID available with
EFI. Setting the value to 'n' disables EDID support.
Also rename screen_info.c to primary_display.c and adapt the contained
comment according to the changes.

Add the initial nova-core driver stub.
nova-core is intended to serve as a common base for nova-drm (the
corresponding DRM driver) and the vGPU manager VFIO driver, serving as a
hard- and firmware abstraction layer for GSP-based NVIDIA GPUs.
The Nova project, including nova-core and nova-drm, in the long term,
is intended to serve as the successor of Nouveau for all GSP-based GPUs.
The motivation for both, starting a successor project for Nouveau and
doing so using the Rust programming language, is documented in detail
through a previous post on the mailing list [1], an LWN article [2] and a
talk from LPC '24.
In order to avoid the chicken and egg problem to require a user to
upstream Rust abstractions, but at the same time require the Rust
abstractions to implement the driver, nova-core kicks off as a driver
stub and is subsequently developed upstream.

The plain values as stored in struct screen_info need to be decoded
before being used. Add helpers that decode the type of video output
and the framebuffer I/O aperture.
Old or non-x86 systems may not set the type of video directly, but
only indicate the presence by storing 0x01 in orig_video_isVGA. The
decoding logic in screen_info_video_type() takes this into account.
It then follows similar code in vgacon's vgacon_startup() to detect
the video type from the given values.
A call to screen_info_resources() returns all known resources of the
given screen_info. The resources' values have been taken from existing
code in vgacon and vga16fb. These drivers can later be converted to
use the new interfaces.
v2:
* return ssize_t from screen_info_resources()
* don't call __screen_info_has_lfb() unnecessarily

Handle the command-line parameter video= in video/cmdline.c. Implement
the fbdev helper fb_get_options() on top. Will allows to handle the
kernel parameter in DRM without fbdev dependencies.
Note that __video_get_options() has the meaning of its return value
inverted compared to fb_get_options(). The new helper returns true if
the adapter has been enabled, and false otherwise.
There is the ofonly parameter, which disables output for non-OF-based
framebuffers. It is only for offb and looks like a workaround. The actual
purpose it not clear to me. Use 'video=off' or 'nomodeset' instead.

Move the nomodeset kernel parameter to drivers/video to make it
available to non-DRM drivers. Adapt the interface, but keep the DRM
interface drm_firmware_drivers_only() to avoid churn within DRM. The
function should later be inlined into callers.
The parameter disables any DRM graphics driver that would replace a
driver for firmware-provided scanout buffers. It is an option to easily
fallback to basic graphics output if the hardware's native driver is
broken. Moving it to a more prominent location wil make it available
to fbdev as well.

Implement DRM's aperture helpers under video/ for sharing with other
sub-systems. Remove DRM-isms from the interface. The helpers track
the ownership of framebuffer apertures and provide hand-over from
firmware, such as EFI and VESA, to native graphics drivers.
Other subsystems, such as fbdev and vfio, also have to maintain ownership
of framebuffer apertures. Moving DRM's aperture helpers to a more public
location allows all subsystems to interact with each other and share a
common implementation.
The aperture helpers are selected by the various firmware drivers within
DRM and fbdev, and the VGA text-console driver.
The original DRM interface is kept in place for use by DRM drivers.
v3:
* prefix all interfaces with aperture_ (Javier)
* rework and simplify documentation (Javier)

At the moment the "Device Drivers / Graphics support" kernel config page
looks rather messy, with DRM and fbdev driver selections on the same
page, some on the top level Graphics support page, some under their
respective subsystems.
If I'm not mistaken, this is caused by the drivers depending on other
things than DRM or FB, which causes Kconfig to arrange the options in
not-so-neat manner.
Both DRM and FB have a main menuconfig option for the whole DRM or FB
subsystem. Optimally, this would be enough to arrange all DRM and FB
options under the respective subsystem, but for whatever reason this
doesn't work reliably.
This patch adds an explicit submenu for DRM and FB, making it much
clearer which options are related to FB, and which to DRM.
