5.18 vmwgfx seems to break booting VirtualBox VMs

Hi All,

Fedora has received a bug report here:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2072556

That Fedora rawhide VMs no longer boot under the VirtualBox hypervisor
after the VM has been updated to a 5.18-rc# kernel.

Switching the emulated GPU from vmwaregfx to VirtualBoxSVGA fixes
this, so this seems to be a vmwgfx driver regression.

Note I've not investigated/reproduced this myself due to -ENOTIME.

Regards,

Hans
