Now that drm_fb_helper gets deferred io support, the
drm_fb_helper_sys_{fillrect,copyarea,imageblit} functions will schedule
the worker that calls the deferred_io callback. This will break this
driver so use the sys_{fillrect,copyarea,imageblit} functions directly.

I think this intermediately breaks the build, if you disable fbdev
support. That's now supported in the fbdev helpers core generically across
all drivers.

Not sure how to best fix this up, since the only way would be to squash
these patches, plus generic deferred io plus the conversion patches for
udl/qxl all into one. Tricky.
Yes you're right, I missed that.
How about this:
#ifdef CONFIG_FB
        sys_fillrect(info, rect);
#endif

The later patch will then remove this ugliness...
Yeah I think we have to bite the bullet and take this temporary ugliness
:(
