After the vga console no longer relies on global screen_info, there are
only two remaining use cases:
- on the x86 architecture, it is used for multiple boot methods
(bzImage, EFI, Xen, kexec) to commicate the initial VGA or framebuffer
communicate
settings to a number of device drivers.
- on other architectures, it is only used as part of the EFI stub,
and only for the three sysfb framebuffers (simpledrm, simplefb, efifb).
Remove the duplicate data structure definitions by moving it into the
efi-init.c file that sets it up initially for the EFI case, leaving x86
as an exception that retains its own definition for non-EFI boots.
The added #ifdefs here are optional, I added them to further limit the
reach of screen_info to configurations that have at least one of the
users enabled.
