Rework rendering for improved performance
Approx 10-20% gain avg across several "benchmarks": x11perf, gtkperf, glxgears
Moves from a single pre-alloc'd urb protected by a long-held mutex
To a list of (4) pre-alloc'd urbs which can be dispatched asynchonously
Improved rendering algorithm to hardware with lower CPU consumption,
fewer system memory accesses, and slightly higher compression.
Better scalability to multiple processors, especially with
multiple framebuffers active.

Rework probe to use refcounts and std functions
Because the different parts of the driver (usb, fbdev) tear down
in different orders, the driver previously could crash accessing
data that had already been freed. Refcounting system used to handle.
Reworked probe to make use of refcounts, set mode using std fbops,
and set up sysfs and pre-allocated urbs.

Add sysfs controls for edid and performance metrics
There are 8 new files exposed in /sys/class/graphics/fb*
edid - returns 128 byte edid blog, suitable for parsing with parse-edid
metrics_bytes_identical
metrics_bytes_rendered
metrics_bytes_sent
metrics_cpu_kcycles_used
metrics_misc
and metrics_reset, which resets all perf metrics to zero
The 6 perf metrics are of type atomic_t.
So these metrics return precise results for short benchmarks, but
any test approx a minute or longer runtime may roll over.

Add functions to pre-allocate and free usb bulk urbs for core render path.
Udlfb currently allocates a single urb, guarded by a mutex, that is a key
bottleneck. Because udlfb sends so much data, preallocation is most efficient.
Functions will be used by new rendering functions in later patches.

Add dynamic modeset support
udlfb uses EDID to find the monitor’s preferred mode
udlfb no longer has fixed mode tables – it’s able to set any mode
dynamically, from the standard VESA timing characteristics of the monitor.
Draws from probe and setmode code of both displaylink-mod 0.3 branch of
Roberto De Ioris, and Jaya Kumar's displaylinkfb.
Lays foundation for defio support and making backbuffer optional.
With additional changes to minimize diffs and clean for checkpatch.pl style.
Does not yet include new ioctls or refcount/mutex code from displaylink-mod.
Tested to work with existing xf-video-displaylink X server unmodified.

There are others remaining due to the __iomem namespace of the
framebuffer data pointer.
