Sam Ravnborg 2a1658bf92 drm/drm_fb_helper: fix fbdev with sparc64 
Recent kernels have been reported to panic using the bochs_drm
framebuffer under qemu-system-sparc64 which was bisected to
commit 7a0483ac4f ("drm/bochs: switch to generic drm fbdev emulation").

The backtrace indicates that the shadow framebuffer copy in
drm_fb_helper_dirty_blit_real() is trying to access the real
framebuffer using a virtual address rather than use an IO access
typically implemented using a physical (ASI_PHYS) access on SPARC.

The fix is to replace the memcpy with memcpy_toio() from io.h.

memcpy_toio() uses writeb() where the original fbdev code
used sbus_memcpy_toio(). The latter uses sbus_writeb().

The difference between writeb() and sbus_memcpy_toio() is
that writeb() writes bytes in little-endian, where sbus_writeb() writes
bytes in big-endian. As endian does not matter for byte writes they are
the same. So we can safely use memcpy_toio() here.

Note that this only fixes bochs, in general fbdev helpers still have
issues with mixing up system memory and __iomem space. Fixing that will
require a lot more work.

v3:
  - Improved changelog (Daniel)
  - Added FIXME to fbdev_use_iomem (Daniel)

v2:
  - Added missing __iomem cast (kernel test robot)
  - Made changelog readable and fix typos (Mark)
  - Add flag to select iomem - and set it in the bochs driver

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
