Remove imacfb entirely, merging its DMI table into the (otherwise very
similar) efifb driver. This also adds hardware support for many of the
newer Intel Apple hardware. This has been fairly well tested; we've been
shipping it in Fedora for some time.

Three main sets of changes:
1) dmi_get_system_info() return value should have been marked const,
since callers should not be changing that data.
2) const-ify DMI internals, since DMI firmware tables should,
whenever possible, be marked const to ensure we never ever write to
that data area.
3) const-ify DMI API, to enable marking tables const where possible
in low-level drivers.
And if we're really lucky, this might enable some additional
optimizations on the part of the compiler.
The bulk of the changes are #2 and #3, which are interrelated. #1 could
have been a separate patch, but it was so small compared to the others,
it was easier to roll it into this changeset.

MAX_NR_CONSOLES, fg_console, want_console and last_console are more of a
function of the VT layer than the TTY one. Moving these to vt.h and vt_kern.h
allows all of the framebuffer and VT console drivers to remove their
dependency on tty.h.

Fix build error on x86_64. There's nothing even remotely close to
imacmp_seg in the kernel, so I removed the whole line.

This patch adds a new framebuffer driver for the Intel Based macs. This
framebuffer is needed when booting from EFI to get something out the box.
