Thomas Zimmermann 2f4230fad9 fbdev: Wrap fbcon updates from vga-switcheroo in helper
Handle console remapping in fbcon in fb_switch_output(). Vga-switcheroo
invokes this functionality before switching physical outputs to a new
graphics device. Open-coding fbcon state in vga-switcheroo exposed fbdev
implementation details.

Vga-switcheroo is used for switching physical outputs among graphics
hardware. This functionality is only supported by DRM drivers. A later
update will further move fb_switch_output() into DRM's fbdev emulation;
thus fully decoupling vga-switcheroo from fbdev.

v3:
- remove Kconfig dependency related to fbcon (Geert)
v2:
- use '#if defined' (Helge)

help
Many laptops released in 2008/9/10 have two GPUs with a multiplexer
to switch between them. This adds support for dynamic switching when
X isn't running and delayed switching until the next logoff. This
feature is called hybrid graphics, ATI PowerXpress, and Nvidia
HybridPower.
