Support conversion from RGB565 and RGB888 to XRGB8888. This enables simpledrm to work with framebuffers of such formats.
UEFI and/or Grub will usually set 32-bit output in XRGB8888 format. The issue can be reproduced by enabling simpledrm and requesting a console framebuffer of different format on the kernel command line; for example
nomodeset video=1024x768-16
or
nomodeset video=1024x768-24
Conversion helpers will do nothing in this case.
Make this work by implementing the rsp conversion helpers. Also add a warning about unsupported format conversions. The patchset should also enable odd userspace configurations, such as running Xorg with 16- or 24-bit color depth.
