It happens to be what I'm already using, and the interface appears quite
simple.  I am hacking on an Arm OS, and using U-Boot's UEFI support to
provide a framebuffer to the booted target.  This works very well on
hardware (a ROCKPro64 in my case).  I've been using EDK2 in QEMU until
now, but am experimenting with using U-Boot in QEMU instead to minimise
differences between the hardware target and virtualised one.

virtio-gpu could work just as well, but in either case there is no
U-Boot support.  I figure keeping it very simple maximises my chance of
success here.

Best,

Asherah
