This ioctl is more appropriate when the hardware supports flushing of
the entire framebuffer, so we use that instead of the previous default
FB_IOCTL_FLUSH_HEAD_BUFFERS ioctl.
Such mechanism will be used by the Intel Graphics driver, because we
lack support of changing the resolution on this driver currently, so,
when WindowServer will try to mode-set the display then it will fail,
and will use the safe mode-setting call instead to be able to show
something on screen.
The ScreenBackend is a thin wrapper around the actual screen hardware
connection. It contains all the variables specific to that hardware and
abstracts away operations that deal with controlling the hardware. The
standard ScreenBackend implementor is HardwareScreenBackend, which
contains all the existing frame buffer & ioctl handling code of Screen.
I took this opportunity to introduce ErrorOr wherever sensible.
