Revert "fbdev: Garbage collect fbdev scrolling acceleration, part 1 (from TODO list)"

This reverts commit 268885ced94b71b0a1ef7bdcc19066406fd82af9.

Revert the second (of 2) commits which disabled scrolling acceleration
in fbcon/fbdev.  It introduced a regression for fbdev-supported graphic
cards because of the performance penalty by doing screen scrolling by
software instead of using the existing graphic card 2D hardware
acceleration.

Console scrolling acceleration was disabled by dropping code which
checked at runtime the driver hardware capabilities for the
BINFO_HWACCEL_COPYAREA or FBINFO_HWACCEL_FILLRECT flags and if set, it
enabled scrollmode SCROLL_MOVE which uses hardware acceleration to move
screen contents.  After dropping those checks scrollmode was hard-wired
to SCROLL_REDRAW instead, which forces all graphic cards to redraw every
character at the new screen position when scrolling.

This change effectively disabled all hardware-based scrolling acceleration for
ALL drivers, because now all kind of 2D hardware acceleration (bitblt,
fillrect) in the drivers isn't used any longer.

The original commit message mentions that only 3 DRM drivers (nouveau, omapdrm
and gma500) used hardware acceleration in the past and thus code for checking
and using scrolling acceleration is obsolete.

This statement is NOT TRUE, because beside the DRM drivers there are around 35
other fbdev drivers which depend on fbdev/fbcon and still provide hardware
acceleration for fbdev/fbcon.

The original commit message also states that syzbot found lots of bugs in fbcon
and thus it's "often the solution to just delete code and remove features".
This is true, and the bugs - which actually affected all users of fbcon,
including DRM - were fixed, or code was dropped like e.g. the support for
software scrollback in vgacon (commit 462edf5d05ae).

So to further analyze which bugs were found by syzbot, I've looked through all
patches in drivers/video which were tagged with syzbot or syzkaller back to
year 2005. The vast majority fixed the reported issues on a higher level, e.g.
when screen is to be resized, or when font size is to be changed. The few ones
which touched driver code fixed a real driver bug, e.g. by adding a check.

But NONE of those patches touched code of either the SCROLL_MOVE or the
SCROLL_REDRAW case.

That means, there was no real reason why SCROLL_MOVE had to be ripped-out and
just SCROLL_REDRAW had to be used instead. The only reason I can imagine so far
was that SCROLL_MOVE wasn't used by DRM and as such it was assumed that it
could go away. That argument completely missed the fact that SCROLL_MOVE is
still heavily used by fbdev (non-DRM) drivers.

Some people mention that using memcpy() instead of the hardware acceleration is
pretty much the same speed. But that's not true, at least not for older graphic
cards and machines where we see speed decreases by factor 10 and more and thus
this change leads to console responsiveness way worse than before.

That's why the original commit is to be reverted. By reverting we
reintroduce hardware-based scrolling acceleration and fix the
performance regression for fbdev drivers.

There isn't any impact on DRM when reverting those patches.

 Garbage collect fbdev scrolling acceleration
 --------------------------------------------
 
-Scroll acceleration has been disabled in fbcon. Now it works as the old
-SCROLL_REDRAW mode. A ton of code was removed in fbcon.c and the hook bmove was
-removed from fbcon_ops.
-Remaining tasks:
+Scroll acceleration is disabled in fbcon by hard-wiring p->scrollmode =
+SCROLL_REDRAW. There's a ton of code this will allow us to remove:
 
-- a bunch of the hooks in fbcon_ops could be removed or simplified by calling
+- lots of code in fbcon.c
+
+- a bunch of the hooks in fbcon_ops, maybe the remaining hooks could be called
   directly instead of the function table (with a switch on p->rotate)
 
 - fb_copyarea is unused after this, and can be deleted from all drivers
 
-- after that, fb_copyarea can be deleted from fb_ops in include/linux/fb.h as
-  well as cfb_copyarea
-
 Note that not all acceleration code can be deleted, since clearing and cursor
 support is still accelerated, which might be good candidates for further
 deletion projects.

+ *---------------------------------------------
+ * SCROLL_MOVE         copyarea    No     No

+ * SCROLL_WRAP_MOVE    copyarea    No     Yes

+ * SCROLL_PAN_REDRAW   imageblit   Yes    No
+ * SCROLL_WRAP_REDRAW  imageblit   No     Yes
+ *
+ * (SCROLL_WRAP_REDRAW is not implemented yet)
+ *
+ * In general, fbcon will choose the best scrolling
+ * method based on the rule below:
+ *
+ * Pan/Wrap > accel imageblit > accel copyarea >
+ * soft imageblit > (soft copyarea)
+ *
+ * Exception to the rule: Pan + accel copyarea is
+ * preferred over Pan + accel imageblit.
+ *
+ * The above is typical for PCI/AGP cards. Unless
+ * overridden, fbcon will never use soft copyarea.
+ *
+ * If you need to override the above rule, set the
+ * appropriate flags in fb_info->flags.  For example,
+ * to prefer copyarea over imageblit, set
+ * FBINFO_READS_FAST.
+ *
+ * Other notes:
+ * + use the hardware engine to move the text
+ *    (hw-accelerated copyarea() and fillrect())
+ * + use hardware-supported panning on a large virtual screen
+ * + amifb can not only pan, but also wrap the display by N lines
+ *    (i.e. visible line i = physical line (i+N) % yres).
+ * + read what's already rendered on the screen and
+ *     write it in a different place (this is cfb_copyarea())
+ * + re-render the text to the screen
+ *
+ * Whether to use wrapping or panning can only be figured out at
+ * runtime (when we know whether our font height is a multiple
+ * of the pan/wrap step)
