fbdev: remove cyblafb driver
A tridentfb driver has all the functionality of the cyblafb driver without the bugs of the latter. Changes to the tridentfb driver: - FBINFO_READS_FAST added to the tridentfb. The cyblafb used a blitter for scrolling which is faster than color expansion on Cyberblade chipsets. The blitter is slower on a discrete Blade3D core. Use the blitter for scrolling in the tridentfb only for integrated Blade3D cores. Now, scrolling speed is about equal for the tridentfb and the cyblafb. - a copyright notice addition is done on request of Jani Monoses (the first author of the tridentfb). Tested on AGP Blade3D card and PCChips M787CLR motherboard: VIA C3 cpu + VT8601 north bridge (aka Cyberblade/i1).

9The datasheet is incomplete, some registers that need to be programmed are not
10explained at all and important bits are listed as "reserved". But you really
11need the datasheet to understand the code. "p. xxx" comments refer to page
12numbers of this document.
13
14XFree/XOrg drivers are available and of good quality, looking at the code
15there is a good idea if the datasheet does not provide enough information
16or if the datasheet seems to be wrong.
