+Garbage collect fbdev scrolling acceleration

+Scroll acceleration is disabled in fbcon by hard-wiring p->scrollmode =

+- lots of code in fbcon.c

+- a bunch of the hooks in fbcon_ops, maybe the remaining hooks could be called

+- fb_copyarea is unused after this, and can be deleted from all drivers
