[PATCH 00/10] fbcon,fonts: Refactor framebuffer console rotation

[Thomas Zimmermann]

Refactor the framebuffer console rotation into individual components
for glyphs, fonts and the overall fbcon state. Right now this is mixed
up in fbcon_rotate.{c,h}. Also build cursor rotation on top of the new
interfaces.

Start with an OOB fix in patch 1. If buffer allocation fails, fbcon
currently uses a too-small glyph buffer for output. Avoid that.

Patches 2 to 4 make a number of small improvements to the font library
and its callers.

Patches 5 to 8 refactor the font rotation. Fbcon rotation rotates each
individual glphy in a font buffer and uses the rotated buffer's glyphs
for output. The result looks like the console buffer has been rotated
as a whole. Split this into helpers that rotate individual glyphs and
a helper that rotates the font buffer of these. Then reimplement fbcon
rotation on top. Document the public font helpers.

Patch 9 rebuilds cursor rotation on top of the new glyph helpers. The
fbcon cursor is itself a glyph that has to be rotated in sync with the
font.

Patch 10 moves the state of fbcon rotation into a single place and makes
is a build-time conditional.

Tested with fbcon under bochs on Qemu.

Built upon the fbcon changes at [1].
