Improve the performance of sys_fillrect() by using word-aligned
32/64-bit mov instructions. While the code tried to implement this,
the compiler failed to create fast instructions. The resulting
binary instructions were even slower than cfb_fillrect(), which
uses the same algorithm, but operates on I/O memory.
A microbenchmark measures the average number of CPU cycles
for sys_fillrect() after a stabilizing period of a few minutes
(i7-4790, FullHD, simpledrm, kernel with debugging). The value
for CFB is given as a reference.
sys_fillrect(), new: 26586 cycles
sys_fillrect(), old: 166603 cycles
cfb_fillrect(): 41012 cycles
In the optimized case, sys_fillrect() is now ~6x faster than before
and ~1.5x faster than the CFB implementation.

Instead of having fbdev framework core files at the root fbdev
directory, mixed with random fbdev device drivers, move the fbdev core
files to a separate core directory. This makes it much clearer which of
the files are actually part of the fbdev framework, and which are part
of device drivers.
