fbdev: mm: Deferred IO support

This implements deferred IO support in fbdev.  Deferred IO is a way to delay
and repurpose IO.  This implementation is done using mm's page_mkwrite and
page_mkclean hooks in order to detect, delay and then rewrite IO.  This
functionality is used by hecubafb.

This is useful for graphics hardware with no directly addressable/mappable
framebuffer. Implementing this will allow the "framebuffer" to be accesible
from user space via mmap().
