Implementing RAMFB migration is quite straightforward. One caveat is to
treat the whole RAMFBCfg as a blob, since that's what is exposed to the
guest directly. This avoid having to fiddle with endianness issues if we
were to migrate fields individually as integers.
The devices using RAMFB will have to include ramfb_vmstate in their
migration description.

This reverts commit f79081b4b7.
Patch has broken byteorder handling: RAMFBCfg fields are in bigendian
byteorder, the reset function doesn't care so native byteorder is used
instead. Given this went unnoticed so far the feature is obviously
unused, so just revert the patch.

If xres / yres were specified in QEMU command line, write them as an initial
resolution to the fw-config space on guest reset, which a later BIOS / OVMF
patch can take advantage of.

The boot framebuffer is expected to be configured by the firmware, so it
uses fw_cfg as interface. Initialization goes as follows:
(1) Check whenever etc/ramfb is present.
(2) Allocate framebuffer from RAM.
(3) Fill struct RAMFBCfg, write it to etc/ramfb.
Done. You can write stuff to the framebuffer now, and it should appear
automagically on the screen.
Note that this isn't very efficient because it does a full display
update on each refresh. No dirty tracking. Dirty tracking would have
to be active for the whole ram slot, so that wouldn't be very efficient
either. For a boot display which is active for a short time only this
isn't a big deal. As permanent guest display something better should be
used (if possible).
This is the ramfb core code. Some windup is needed for display devices
which want have a ramfb boot display.
