The spec requires a flush after setting the new buffer resource id,
which is required by QEMUs SDL backend but not the GTK backend. This
brings us in line with the spec and makes it work for the SDL backend.
Some devices may require DMA transfers to flush the updated buffer
areas prior to flipping. For those devices we track the areas that
require flushing prior to the next flip. For devices that do not
support flipping, but require flushing, we'll simply flush after
updating the front buffer.
This also adds a small optimization that skips these steps entirely for
a screen that doesn't have any updates that need to be rendered.
We regularily need to flush many rectangles, so instead of making many
expensive ioctl() calls to the framebuffer driver, collect the
rectangles and only make one call. And if we have too many rectangles
then it may be cheaper to just update the entire region, in which case
we simply convert them all into a union and just flush that one
rectangle instead.
This creates /dev/fbX devices for each physical output, owned by the
parent VirtIOGPU instance. This allows mapping and setting resolutions
independently for each output.
