On Hyper-V, Generation 1 VMs can directly use VM's physical memory for their framebuffers. This can improve the efficiency of framebuffer and overall performence for VM. The physical memory assigned to framebuffer must be contiguous. We use CMA allocator to get contiguouse physicial memory when the framebuffer size is greater than 4MB. For size under 4MB, we use alloc_pages to achieve this. To enable framebuffer memory allocation from CMA, supply a kernel parameter to give enough space to CMA allocator at boot time. For example: cma=130m This gives 130MB memory to CAM allocator that can be allocated to framebuffer. If this fails, we fall back to the old way of using mmio for framebuffer.
