[PATCH] kvm tools, vesa: Use guest-mapped memory for framebuffer

[Pekka Enberg <penberg@kernel.org>]

This patch converts hw/vesa.c to use guest-mapped memory for framebuffer and
drops the slow MMIO emulation. This speeds up framebuffer accesses
considerably. Please note that this can be optimized even more with the
KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG ioctl() as explained by Alexander Graf.
