Should be useful for better performance when moving windows
and scrolling on the devices without a dedicated 2D hardware
accelerator (Allwinner A13).

The sunxi_x_g2d.c file contains the midlayer code for hooking the
G2D optimized blit into xserver. But in fact it does not strictly
need to depend on anything sunxi specific.

So now we introduce a simple "blt2d_i" interface struct which
specifically provides a pointer to the accelerated blit function.
And just use this interface struct instead of the whole "sunxi_disp_t".
This allows to easily reuse the same code for other non-G2D or even
non-sunxi blit implementations in the future.

This initial G2D support code can speed up moving windows in XFCE. Currently
disabled by default, but can be enabled by editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf and
adding the following line to the "Device" section:

        Option          "AccelMethod" "G2D"

Testing with gnome-shell revealed a problem. We need to migrate
pixmaps into UMP buffers in order to allow the GLESv2 based
compositing manager to actually access the content of redirected
windows, rendered by X11 applications into offscreen pixmaps.

Just to make sure that we don't add any unneeded overhead for 2D
(neither extra CPU cycles nor the increase for unrelated pixmaps
memory footprint), a hash table (currently uthash [1]) is used
for connecting DRI2-enabled pixmaps with UMP buffers. The lookups
are only performed on DRI2 buffer creation and pixmap destruction.

The driver can use sunxi display controller layers for fully visible
windows, avoiding expensive memory copy.

Hardware cursor is necessary because it is also visible on
top of sunxi disp layers, while software cursor is not.

FIXME: there is one minor problem with negative cursor
positions. The hardware does not support them, so such
positions are just set to 0 for now. In the future this
can be solved better by changing the cursor picture and
showing only the parts which are visible on screen.

Note: the header file "sunxi_disp_ioctl.h" is GPL licensed. So until
it is gets a MIT/X11 replacement, the DDX driver is GPL licensed as
a whole. The individual source files still have their own license.
Also in order to avoid any possible confusion, the MIT/X11 license
header from COPYING has been added to "fbdev.c" and "fbdev_priv.h".

It is going to be included by multiple different source files.

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.
