Matt LaPlante	01dd2fbf0d	typo fixes ... Most of these fixes were already submitted for old kernel versions, and were approved, but for some reason they never made it into the releases. Because this is a consolidation of a couple old missed patches, it touches both Kconfigs and documentation texts.

Jaya Kumar	60b59beafb	fbdev: mm: Deferred IO support ... This implements deferred IO support in fbdev. Deferred IO is a way to delay and repurpose IO. This implementation is done using mm's page_mkwrite and page_mkclean hooks in order to detect, delay and then rewrite IO. This functionality is used by hecubafb. [adaplas] This is useful for graphics hardware with no directly addressable/mappable framebuffer. Implementing this will allow the "framebuffer" to be accesible from user space via mmap().
