For virtual display, I don't think doing DPMS off alike operation has
practical usage, as host can control how/whether to show vgpu display.
vgpu guest can apply display off on virtual display, which host can
handle through vfio gfx plane ioctl. Even with my own hack to show vgpu
display directly through DRM/KMS, it's still host's policy to do any
monitor off if required.
And turning vgpu display off it's different situation virtual display
driver needs to handle e.g emulate dis-connected state, etc.
