fbdev: add fb_read/fb_write functions for framebuffers in system RAM
The functions fb_read() and fb_write in fbmem.c assume that the framebuffer
is in IO memory. However, we have 3 drivers (hecubafb, arcfb, and vfb)
where the framebuffer is allocated from system RAM (via vmalloc). Using
__raw_read/__raw_write (fb_readl/fb_writel) for these drivers is
illegal, especially in other platforms.
Create file read and write methods for these types of drivers. These are
named fb_sys_read() and fb_sys_write().
