0c7c266475 drm: drop DRM_IOCTL_MODE_REPLACEFB, add+remove works just as well.
The replace fb ioctl replaces the backing buffer object for a modesetting
framebuffer object.  This can be acheived by just creating a new
framebuffer backed by the new buffer object, setting that for the crtcs
in question and then removing the old framebuffer object.

e0c8463a8b drm: sanitise drm modesetting API + remove unused hotplug
The initially merged modesetting API has some uglies in it, this
cleans up the struct members and ioctl ordering for initial submission.

It also removes the unneeded hotplug infrastructure.

airlied:- I've pulled this patch in from git modesetting-gem tree.

f453ba0460 DRM: add mode setting support
Add mode setting support to the DRM layer.

This is a fairly big chunk of work that allows DRM drivers to provide
full output control and configuration capabilities to userspace.  It was
motivated by several factors:
  - the fb layer's APIs aren't suited for anything but simple
    configurations
  - coordination between the fb layer, DRM layer, and various userspace
    drivers is poor to non-existent (radeonfb excepted)
  - user level mode setting drivers makes displaying panic & oops
    messages more difficult
  - suspend/resume of graphics state is possible in many more
    configurations with kernel level support

This commit just adds the core DRM part of the mode setting APIs.
Driver specific commits using these new structure and APIs will follow.
