Thanks for the updates. I'm concerned about, after removing efifb, 
if synthvid_send_config(hdev) fails, then there will be no video driver
available.
That may happen, yes.
Is there a way to bring the generic driver back if 
synthvid_send_config(hdev) fails?
Not that I know of.
If no way to recover the generic driver, please limit the early
remove_conflicting_framebuffers() to Gen2 VM only.
I'll send updated patches once they are tested.

cheers,
  Gerd
