  Hi,
quoted
Completely different thing crossing my mind:  I think we can make
virtio-vga fully compatible with stdvga.  stdvga has two bars, memory
(#0) and mmio (#2).  We can make the mmio bar larger and place all the
virtio regions there.
Full compatibility with some standard sounds like a better motivation,
yes.
Ok, I'll look into it.

I think in any case I'll go split off the vga compatibility bits to a
different patch (and possible a separate patch series).

cheers,
  Gerd
Will you still need me to change core to claim specific memory only?
That would be great, yes.  The resource conflict with vesafb/efifb will
stay no matter how we design the pci resource layout of virtio-vga.

cheers,
  Gerd
