  Hi,

Are there any plans for vgabios / efi driver support for gvt?

How difficult is it to initialize a fixed, simple framebuffer (say
1024x768)?  Compared to physical hardware we should be able to take a
number of shortcuts here:  No need to scan outputs, we know it is DP-1. 
No need to parse EDID, we can (at least initially) use a fixed mode.

Maybe we can even have some registers in pvinfo for a simple boot
display setup.

cheers,
  Gerd
