drm/qxl: cover all crtcs in shadow bo.
The qxl device supports only a single active framebuffer ("primary surface" in spice terminology). In multihead configurations are handled by defining rectangles within the primary surface for each head/crtc. Userspace which uses the qxl ioctl interface (xorg qxl driver) is aware of this limitation and will setup framebuffers and crtcs accordingly. Userspace which uses dumb framebuffers (xorg modesetting driver, wayland) is not aware of this limitation and tries to use two framebuffers (one for each crtc) instead. The qxl kms driver already has the dumb bo separated from the primary surface, by using a (shared) shadow bo as primary surface. This is needed to support pageflips without having to re-create the primary surface. The qxl driver will blit from the dumb bo to the shadow bo instead. So we can extend the shadow logic: Maintain a global shadow bo (aka primary surface), make it big enough that dumb bo's for all crtcs fit in side-by-side. Adjust the pageflip blits to place the heads next to each other in the shadow. With this patch in place multihead qxl works with wayland.
