So I've stumbled over drm_fasync and wondered what it does. Digging
that up is quite a story.
First I've had to read up on what this does and ended up being rather
bewildered why peopled loved signals so much back in the days that
they've created SIGIO just for that ...
Then I wondered how this ever works, and what that strange "No-op."
comment right above it should mean. After all calling the core fasync
helper is pretty obviously not a noop. After reading through the
kernels FASYNC implementation I've noticed that signals are only sent
out to the processes attached with FASYNC by calling kill_fasync.
No merged drm driver has ever done that.
After more digging I've found out that the only driver that ever used
this is the so called GAMMA driver. I've frankly never heard of such a
gpu brand ever before. Now FASYNC seems to not have been the only bad
thing with that driver, since Dave Airlie removed it from the drm
driver with prejudice:

Drop GAMMA DRM from a great height ...
Long story short, the drm fasync support seems to be doing absolutely
nothing. And the only user of it was never merged into the upstream
kernel. And we don't need any fops->fasync callback since the fcntl
implementation in the kernel already implements the noop case
correctly.
So stop this particular cargo-cult and rip it all out.
v2: Kill drm_fasync assignments in rcar (newly added) and imx drivers
(somehow I've missed that one in staging). Also drop the reference in
the drm DocBook. ARM compile-fail reported by Rob Clark.
v3: Move the removal of dev->buf_asnyc assignment in drm_setup to this
patch here.
v4: Actually git add ... tsk.

All the gem based kms drivers really want the same function to
destroy a dumb framebuffer backing storage object.
So give it to them and roll it out in all drivers.
This still leaves the option open for kms drivers which don't use GEM
for backing storage, but it does decently simplify matters for gem
drivers.

CONFIG_HOTPLUG is going away as an option. As a result, the __dev*
markings need to be removed.
This change removes the use of __devinit, __devexit_p, and __devexit
from these drivers.
Based on patches originally written by Bill Pemberton, but redone by me
in order to handle some of the coding style issues better, by hand.

Remove redundant DRM UAPI header #inclusions from drivers/gpu/.
Remove redundant #inclusions of core DRM UAPI headers (drm.h, drm_mode.h and
drm_sarea.h). They are now #included via drmP.h and drm_crtc.h via a preceding
patch.
Without this patch and the patch to make include the UAPI headers from the core
headers, after the UAPI split, the DRM C sources cannot find these UAPI headers
because the DRM code relies on specific -I flags to make #include "..." work
on headers in include/drm/ - but that does not work after the UAPI split without
adding more -I flags.

Most of the DRM drivers appear to be missing the .compat_ioctl file
operation entry necessary for 32-bit application compatibility.
This patch uses drm_compat_ioctl for all drivers which don't have
their own, and which are using drm_ioctl for .unlocked_ioctl.
This leaves drivers/gpu/drm/psb/psb_drv.c unchanged; it has a custom
.unlocked_ioctl and will presumably need a custom .compat_ioctl as
well.

It appears that grub2 will pass framebuffer info via EFI,
this causes the vram reserve to fail, so kick out efifb
earlier before cirrus loads.

This is the initial driver for emulated cirrus GPU found in qemu.
This driver only supports the emulated GPU and doesn't attempt
to bind to any real cirrus GPUs.
This driver is intended to be used with xf86-video-modesetting in userspace.
It requires at least version 0.3.0
This follow the same design as ast and mgag200, and is based on work
done by Matthew Garrett previously.
This GPU has no hw cursor, and it can't scanout 32-bpp, only packed 24-bpp.
i.e. it sucks.
