Log Message:
add genfb, a generic framebuffer console driver that's configured via
device properties - all it needs is width and height in pixels, stride in
bytes, depth in bits and the framebuffer address.
Features:
- unaccelerated fb console with colours and virtual consoles
- split into console handling and bus frontend
- so far there is only a PCI bus frontend which allows to mmap BARs belonging
  to the graphics controller, others should be easy to add.

TODO:
- find an opaque way to change the palette ( probably pass a function
  pointer as property ) since this would need to call some firmware interface
  which is pretty much always MD
- find a clean way to mmap the framebuffer, just returning the physical
  address works on macppc but not on other architectures. Problem is, that
  we cannot rely on the address being a bus address - on macppc it is,
  but for instance on sparc64 it's not.
