These changes are to make it possible for a secondary driver to share the
pxafb framebuffer. The changes include:
- adding extra_video_mem entry so that a driver can tell pxafb of its
  additional needs.
- adding share_video_mem/unshare_video_mem callbacks to notify the secondary
  driver of the framebuffer address, to allow refcounting, and to cleanup on
  completion.

Hi Krzysztof,

Thanks for the review. I have a feeling though that I have made a
design mistake. My approach has been too specific to pxafb and I think
the addition of callbacks to mach_pxa_info is not something that will
be acked. My apologies for that. So I'll go and take some time to
rethink my design and hopefully come up with something cleaner and
more generic. I have an idea of using fb notifiers which I think will
allow this all to work without needing any custom changes to pxafb.
I'm sorry for having taken up everyones time with the previous
approach.

Thanks,
jaya
