Drivers: hv: Always reserve framebuffer region for Gen1 VMs
vmbus_reserve_fb() tries reserving framebuffer region iff 'screen_info.lfb_base' is set. Gen2 VMs seem to have it set by EFI and/or by the kernel EFI FB driver (or, in some edge cases like kexec, the address where the buffer was moved, see https://lore.kernel.org/all/20201014092429.1415040-1-kasong@redhat.com/) but on Gen1 VM it depends on bootloader behavior. With grub, it depends on 'gfxpayload=' setting but in some cases it is observed to be zero. That being said, relying on 'screen_info.lfb_base' to reserve framebuffer region is risky. For Gen1 VMs, it should always be possible to get the address from the dedicated PCI device instead. Check for legacy PCI video device presence and reserve the whole region for framebuffer on Gen1 VMs. Reviewed-by: Michael Kelley <mikelley@microsoft.com> Signed-off-by: Vitaly Kuznetsov <vkuznets@redhat.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220827130345.1320254-3-vkuznets@redhat.comSigned-off-by: Wei Liu <wei.liu@kernel.org>
