[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 3/7] hw/display: add ramfb, a simple boot framebuffer living in guest ram

[Gerd Hoffmann]

The boot framebuffer is expected to be configured by the firmware, so it
uses fw_cfg as interface.  Initialization goes as follows:

  (1) Check whenever etc/ramfb is present.
  (2) Allocate framebuffer from RAM.
  (3) Fill struct RAMFBCfg, write it to etc/ramfb.

Done.  You can write stuff to the framebuffer now, and it should appear
automagically on the screen.

Note that this isn't very efficient because it does a full display
update on each refresh.  No dirty tracking.  Dirty tracking would have
to be active for the whole ram slot, so that wouldn't be very efficient
either.  So it is *really* intended to be only active for a short time
at boot, before the guest loaded the drivers for the real display
hardware.

This is the ramfb core code.  Some windup is needed for display devices
which want have a ramfb boot display.
