Now that ARCH=um no longer has IO port accesses, this driver
can no longer build as-is. Make the IO port calls not just
conditional on i386 but also !UML.

<content type='text'>
The actual length of const string "noaccel" is 7, but the strncmp()
branch in nvidiafb_setup() wrongly hard codes it as 6.

Fix by using actual length 7 as argument of the strncmp().

Replace FB_BLANK_ constants with their counterparts from the
backlight subsystem. The values are identical, so there's no
change in functionality or semantics.

<title>fbdev/nvidiafb: Initialize fb_ops to fbdev I/O-memory helpers</title>

<id>50182ed4eb2232bab18567dd460b02c98bcb0580</id>
<content type='text'>
Initialize the instance of struct fb_ops with fbdev initializer
macros for framebuffers in I/O address space. Set the read/write,
draw and mmap callbacks to the correct implementation and avoid
implicit defaults. Also select the necessary I/O helpers in Kconfig.

Fbdev drivers sometimes rely on the callbacks being NULL for a
default implementation to be invoked; hence requiring the I/O
helpers to be built in any case. Setting all callbacks in all
drivers explicitly will allow to make the I/O helpers optional.
This benefits systems that do not use these functions.

No functional changes.

<title>fbdev: Remove FBINFO_DEFAULT from framebuffer_alloc()'ed structs</title>

<id>b3e148d730b7255dfcfb080c8633146e44b83b0c</id>
<content type='text'>
The flag FBINFO_DEFAULT is 0 and has no effect, as struct fbinfo.flags
has been allocated to zero by framebuffer_alloc(). So do not set it.

Flags should signal differences from the default values. After cleaning
up all occurrences of FBINFO_DEFAULT, the token will be removed.

	* clarify commit message (Geert, Dan)
