Mark screen buffers in system memory with FBINFO_VIRTFB. Otherwise, fbdev
deferred I/O marks mmap'ed areas of system memory with VM_IO. (There's an
inverse relationship between the two flags.)
For shadow buffers, also set the FBINFO_READS_FAST hint.
v3:
* change FB_ to FBINFO_ in commit description
v2:
* updated commit description (Daniel)
* added Fixes tag

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
