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).

-I tried the following framebuffer drivers:
-
-	- TRIDENTFB is full of bugs. Acceleration is broken for Blade3D
-	  graphics cores like the cyberblade/i1. It claims to support a great
-	  number of devices, but documentation for most of these devices is
-	  unfortunately not available. There is _no_ reason to use tridentfb
-	  for cyberblade/i1 + CRT users. VESAFB is faster, and the one
-	  advantage, mode switching, is broken in tridentfb.
-
-	- VESAFB is used by many distributions as a standard. Vesafb does
-	  not support mode switching. VESAFB is a bit faster than the working
-	  configurations of TRIDENTFB, but it is still too slow, even if you
-	  use ypan.
-
-	- EPIAFB (you'll find it on sourceforge) supports the Cyberblade/i1
-	  graphics core, but it still has serious bugs and developement seems
-	  to have stopped. This is the one driver with TV-out support. If you
-	  do need this feature, try epiafb.
-
-None of these drivers was a real option for me.
-
-I believe that is unreasonable to change code that announces to support 20
-devices if I only have more or less sufficient documentation for exactly one
-of these. The risk of breaking device foo while fixing device bar is too high.
-
-So I decided to start CyBlaFB as a stripped down tridentfb.
-
-All code specific to other Trident chips has been removed. After that there
-were a lot of cosmetic changes to increase the readability of the code. All
-register names were changed to those mnemonics used in the datasheet. Function
-and macro names were changed if they hindered easy understanding of the code.
-
-After that I debugged the code and implemented some new features. I'll try to
-give a little summary of the main changes:
-
-	- calculation of vertical and horizontal timings was fixed
-
-	- video signal quality has been improved dramatically
-
-	- acceleration:
-
-		- fillrect and copyarea were fixed and reenabled
-
-		- color expanding imageblit was newly implemented, color
-		  imageblit (only used to draw the penguine) still uses the
-		  generic code.
-
-		- init of the acceleration engine was improved and moved to a
-		  place where it really works ...
-
-		- sync function has a timeout now and tries to reset and
-		  reinit the accel engine if necessary
-
-		- fewer slow copyarea calls when doing ypan scrolling by using
-		  undocumented bit d21 of screen start address stored in
-		  CR2B[5]. BIOS does use it also, so this should be safe.
-
-	- cyblafb rejects any attempt to set modes that would cause vclk
-	  values above reasonable 230 MHz. 32bit modes use a clock
-	  multiplicator of 2, so fbset does show the correct values for
-	  pixclock but not for vclk in this case. The fbset limit is 115 MHz
-	  for 32 bpp modes.
-
-	- cyblafb rejects modes known to be broken or unimplemented (all
-	  interlaced modes, all doublescan modes for now)
-
-	- cyblafb now works independant of the video mode in effect at startup
-	  time (tridentfb does not init all needed registers to reasonable
-	  values)
-
-	- switching between video modes does work reliably now
-
-	- the first video mode now is the one selected on startup using the
-	  vga=???? mechanism or any of
-		- 640x480, 800x600, 1024x768, 1280x1024
-		- 8, 16, 24 or 32 bpp
-		- refresh between 50 Hz and 85 Hz, 1 Hz steps (1280x1024-32
-		  is limited to 63Hz)
-
-	- pci retry and pci burst mode are settable (try to disable if you
-	  experience latency problems)
-
-	- built as a module cyblafb might be unloaded and reloaded using
-	  the vfb module and con2vt or might be used together with vesafb
