video: move fbdev to drivers/video/fbdev

The drivers/video directory is a mess. It contains generic video related
files, directories for backlight, console, linux logo, lots of fbdev
device drivers, fbdev framework files.

Make some order into the chaos by creating drivers/video/fbdev
directory, and move all fbdev related files there.

No functionality is changed, although I guess it is possible that some
subtle Makefile build order related issue could be created by this
patch.

+ * linux/drivers/video/skeletonfb.c -- Skeleton for a frame buffer device
+ *
+ *  Modified to new api Jan 2001 by James Simmons (jsimmons@transvirtual.com)
+ *
+ *  Created 28 Dec 1997 by Geert Uytterhoeven
+ *
+ *
+ *  I have started rewriting this driver as a example of the upcoming new API
+ *  The primary goal is to remove the console code from fbdev and place it
+ *  into fbcon.c. This reduces the code and makes writing a new fbdev driver
+ *  easy since the author doesn't need to worry about console internals. It
+ *  also allows the ability to run fbdev without a console/tty system on top 
+ *  of it. 
+ *
+ *  First the roles of struct fb_info and struct display have changed. Struct
+ *  display will go away. The way the new framebuffer console code will
+ *  work is that it will act to translate data about the tty/console in 
+ *  struct vc_data to data in a device independent way in struct fb_info. Then
+ *  various functions in struct fb_ops will be called to store the device 
+ *  dependent state in the par field in struct fb_info and to change the 
+ *  hardware to that state. This allows a very clean separation of the fbdev
+ *  layer from the console layer. It also allows one to use fbdev on its own
+ *  which is a bounus for embedded devices. The reason this approach works is  
+ *  for each framebuffer device when used as a tty/console device is allocated
+ *  a set of virtual terminals to it. Only one virtual terminal can be active 
+ *  per framebuffer device. We already have all the data we need in struct 
+ *  vc_data so why store a bunch of colormaps and other fbdev specific data
+ *  per virtual terminal. 
+ *
+ *  As you can see doing this makes the con parameter pretty much useless
+ *  for struct fb_ops functions, as it should be. Also having struct  
+ *  fb_var_screeninfo and other data in fb_info pretty much eliminates the 
+ *  need for get_fix and get_var. Once all drivers use the fix, var, and cmap
+ *  fbcon can be written around these fields. This will also eliminate the
+ *  need to regenerate struct fb_var_screeninfo, struct fb_fix_screeninfo
+ *  struct fb_cmap every time get_var, get_fix, get_cmap functions are called
+ *  as many drivers do now.
