The fbdev code uses compat_alloc_user_space in a few of its compat_ioctl handlers, which tends to be a bit more complicated and error-prone than calling the underlying handlers directly, so I would like to remove it completely. This modifies two such functions in fbdev, and removes another one that is completely unused.

Hi Daniel - I read the above as an a-b. And Arnd did not take the bait it seems. Hi Arnd. checkpatch complained about some whitespace, which I fixed while applying. Will push to drm-misc-next tomorrow unless I hear anything else. Sam
