While for now this for now only includes helpers for the current limited
display interface which is relatively simple to implement manually, in
the future we will likely need a more complex interface with gpu drivers
that would be hard to get right without a common crate proving the
interface.
With fbbootlogd split out it is no longer essential to avoid blocking
operations on the main thread of fbcond. Moving them back to the main
thread simplifies things a fair bit.
The daemon responsible for the boot log must never ever block to avoid
deadlocks, but doing so while still accepting keyboard input is
non-trivial. This commit splits the boot log out from fbcond into a
separate daemon to make this a lot easier to implement. This will also
allow making fbcond blocking again, which will simplify some things.
With this virtio-gpud no longer has to support getting deactivated at
any time to hand back control to vesad. This makes it much easier to add
many new features that a proper graphics driver is supposed to support.
Be aware that virtio-gpud waits for the vsync on every flush request.
Fbcond and orbital are not really happy about this right now and when
something changes multiple times within a single frame, flush requests
queue up, causing the ui to hang until all flush requests are finished.
It is still possible to switch to another VT though which won't hang.
