[PATCH 2/4] ramfb: Add driver for ramfb display

Sun Feb 27 15:40:41 CET 2022


QEMU implements multiple ways to expose graphics output to the virt
machine, but most of them are incompatible with hardware virtualization.

The one that does work reliably is ramfb. It's a very simple mechanism
in which the guest reserves a memory region for the frame buffer and then
notifies the host about its location and properties. The host then just
displays the contents of the frame buffer on screen.

This patch implements a trivial version of a ramfb driver - hard coded
to a single resolution.
