Eric Miao 77e196752b [ARM] pxafb: allow video memory size to be configurable
The amount of video memory size is decided according to the following
order:

1. <xres> x <yres> x <bits_per_pixel> by default, which is the backward
   compatible way

2. size specified in platform data

3. size specified in module parameter 'options' string or specified in
   kernel boot command line (see updated Documentation/fb/pxafb.txt)

And now since the memory is allocated from system memory, the pxafb_mmap
can be removed and the default fb_mmap() should be working all right.

Also, since we now have introduced the 'struct pxafb_dma_buff' for DMA
descriptors and palettes, the allocation can be separated cleanly.

NOTE: the LCD DMA actually supports chained transfer (i.e. page-based
transfers), to simplify the logic and keep the performance (with less
TLB misses when accessing from memory mapped user space), the memory
is allocated by alloc_pages_*() to ensures it's physical contiguous.
