This introduces a new drm panic handler, which displays a message when a panic occurs.
So when fbcon is disabled, you can still see a kernel panic.

This is one of the missing feature, when disabling VT/fbcon in the kernel:
https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/10eccv9/config_vtn_in_2023/
Fbcon can be replaced by a userspace kms console, but the panic screen must be done in the kernel.

This is a proof of concept, and works with simpledrm and mgag200, using a new get_scanout_buffer() api

To test it, make sure you're using the simpledrm driver, and trigger a panic:
echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger

v2:
 * Use get_scanout_buffer() instead of the drm client API. (Thomas Zimmermann)
 * Add the panic reason to the panic message (Nerdopolis)
 * Add an exclamation mark (Nerdopolis)
 
v3:
 * Rework the drawing functions, to write the pixels line by line and
 to use the drm conversion helper to support other formats.
 (Thomas Zimmermann)
 
v4:
 * Fully support all simpledrm formats using drm conversion helpers
 * Rename dpanic_* to drm_panic_*, and have more coherent function name.
   (Thomas Zimmermann)
 * Use drm_fb_r1_to_32bit for fonts (Thomas Zimmermann)
 * Remove the default y to DRM_PANIC config option (Thomas Zimmermann)
 * Add foreground/background color config option
 * Fix the bottom lines not painted if the framebuffer height
   is not a multiple of the font height.
 * Automatically register the driver to drm_panic, if the function
   get_scanout_buffer() exists. (Thomas Zimmermann)
 * Add mgag200 support.
 
v5:
 * Change the drawing API, use drm_fb_blit_from_r1() to draw the font.
   (Thomas Zimmermann)
 * Also add drm_fb_fill() to fill area with background color.
 * Add draw_pixel_xy() API for drivers that can't provide a linear buffer.
 * Add a flush() callback for drivers that needs to synchronize the buffer.
 * Add a void *private field, so drivers can pass private data to
   draw_pixel_xy() and flush(). 
 * Add ast support.
 * Add experimental imx/ipuv3 support, to test on an ARM hw. (Maxime Ripard)
 
 
With mgag200 support, I was able to test that the xrgb8888 to rgb565 conversion is working.

IMX/IPUV3 support is not complete, I wasn't able to have etnaviv working on my board.
But it shows that it can still work on ARM with DMA buffer in this case.

Best regards,
