Rename "fbdev" -> "sunxifb" and update man page 

As there is no way for the hardware specific bits to be accepted
in xf86-video-fbdev, we need a new driver with its own name.

.B fbdev
is an __xservername__ driver for framebuffer devices. This is a non-accelerated

All visual types are supported for depth 8, and TrueColor visual is
supported for the other depths. Multi-head configurations are supported.
driver.
With the regards to 2D graphics, currently it only supports sofware rendering.
However at least it tries to let the SIMD (ARM NEON) accelerated code from the
.B pixman
library run at full speed without any unnecessary overhead. The recommended
framebuffer color depths are 16 (RGB565) and 24 (XRGB8888), the other color
depths may be supported too. Multi-head configurations are supported.
.SH SUPPORTED HARDWARE
The
.B fbdev
driver supports all hardware where a framebuffer driver is available.
fbdev uses the os-specific submodule fbdevhw(__drivermansuffix__) to talk

driver supports all hardware where a framebuffer driver is available and
uses the os-specific submodule fbdevhw(__drivermansuffix__) to talk

device driver. Currently a fbdevhw module is available for linux.
Additionally it is intended to use some of the display controller features
from Allwinner A10/A13 SoC and provide the necessary DRI2 integration with
the proprietary OpenGL ES binary blobs for Mali400 GPU (if they are installed
in the system). The part related to Mali400 GPU support is derived from
the vendor provided open source

driver.
