Implement support for the E-Ink Metronome controller.  It provides an mmapable
interface to the controller using defio support.  It was tested with a gumstix
pxa255 with Vizplex media using Xfbdev and various X clients such as xeyes,
xpdf, xloadimage.

This patch also fixes the following bug: Defio would cause a hang on write
access to the framebuffer as the page fault would be called ad-infinitum.  It
fixes fb_defio by setting the mapping to be used by page_mkclean.

Most of these fixes were already submitted for old kernel versions, and were
approved, but for some reason they never made it into the releases.

Because this is a consolidation of a couple old missed patches, it touches both
Kconfigs and documentation texts.

An update to Documentation/fb/00-INDEX is long overdue.  This patch adds
entries for new files in the directory and removes entries for files that no
longer exist.  The files are now also sorted alphabetically.
