This is a tracking bug for Change: Replace the fbdev drivers with simpledrm and 
the DRM fbdev emulation layer
For more details, see:

This change replaces the legacy Linux frame buffer device (fbdev)
drivers that are still used in Fedora, with the latest simpledrm driver
and the DRM fbdev emulation layer.

Bug description:
  [ Impact ] 
  The fbdev subsystem has been deprecated for a long time. We should drop it in 
favour of using simpledrm with fbdev emulation layer.

  This requires Kernel config changes:

  FB_EFI=n
  FB_VESA=n

  fbcon will still require FB to be available, but will use the fbdev
  emulation layer

  When this stack is enabled, it changes boot timing such that some
  drivers may take a longer time to boot and GDM may hang in a black
  screen.

  [ Test Plan ]
  * Ensure that a kernel with required kernel changes can boot to GDM using DRM 
driver (amdgpu, i915, or nouveau)

  [ Where Problems could occur ]
  * Race conditions could be exposed to DE environments
  * Software that expects to find DRM device at /dev/dri/card0 may have a 
problem.
  * Some older versions of NVIDIA driver might not work properly.

  [ Other Info ]
  * Fedora bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2022385
