Commit Message

Running a legacy application, which directly uses /dev/fb0
currently results in display not being refreshed when the
application mmaps the memory instead of calling write().

Deferred IO support will also schedule dirty_work with the
damage collected from the mmap page writes and thus gets
some more legacy applications working.

Delay frequency settings have been taken over from
drm_fb_helper_generic_probe().

Hi,

I still need to fix my Droid 4, so I only compile tested this
myself.

On DRA76 EVM, with parallel output, this causes cache-flush problem. 
When I run my simple fbtest, which just draws to the fb, I see lots of 
cache-line artifacts.

When I run kmstest (from kms++), I get a flood of list corruptions 
somewhere in omap_gem. Is it related to "Deferred I/O is not compatible 
with SHMEM"?
