Old EDID parsing code was very verbose, half of the patch address this
(ie. print lots of stuff iff DEBUG). The other big change is the
FB_MODE_IS_* stuff: we really need a way to know the origin of a video
mode. In this way we can select video mode that comes from EDID instead
of VESA or GTF.

Drivers other than radeonfb won't be affected because they cannot (yet)
get EDID from the monitor and don't use EDID related code.
