[PATCH 0/3] drm/amdgpu: modernize virtual display feature

[Ryan Taylor]

The amdgpu vkms interface provides a virtual KMS interface for several use
cases: devices without display hardware, platforms where the actual display
hardware is not useful (e.g., servers), SR-IOV virtual functions, device
emulation/simulation, and device bring up prior to display hardware being
usable. We previously emulated a legacy KMS interface, but there was a desire
to move to the atomic KMS interface. The vkms driver did everything we
needed, but we wanted KMS support natively in the driver without buffer
sharing and the ability to support an instance of VKMS per device. We first
looked at splitting vkms into a stub driver and a helper module that other
drivers could use to implement a virtual display, but this strategy ended up
being messy due to driver specific callbacks needed for buffer management.
Ultimately, it proved easier to import the vkms code as it mostly used core
drm helpers anyway.
