[PATCH v3 7/7] vga: Optimise console scrolling

[Matthew Wilcox]

From: Matthew Wilcox <mawilcox@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Where possible, call memset16(), memmove() or memcpy() instead of using
open-coded loops.  If an architecture doesn't define VT_BUF_HAVE_RW,
we can do that from the generic code.  For the architectures which do
have special RW routines, usually we can do the special thing (pointer
test or byteswap) once (and then use a mem* call) instead of each time
around a loop.  Alpha is the only architecture missing a scr_memmovew()
definition (because it's non-trivial to write).

I don't like the calling convention that uses a byte count instead of
a count of u16s, but it's a little late to change that.  Reduces code
size of fbcon.o by almost 400 bytes on my laptop build.
