The vboxvideo driver provides its own implementation for fbdev emulation

All patches have been tested on VirtualBox 6.0.12.

Thank you for these nice cleanups, unfortunately there is a small
bug in the last patch, you are setting:
.fb_create = drm_gem_fb_create,
But since in the previous patch you switched to drm_atomic_helper_dirty_fb
that should be:
.fb_create = drm_gem_fb_create_with_dirty,
The missing with_dirty is causing screenupdates under both plymouth and
gnome-shell (with llvmpipe) to gone missing. I'll send a patch fixing
this.
You're right. I did test the patchset, but I can't tell why I didn't see
this bug.
I know you tested the patch-set, since you said so above :) You probably
are aware of this already, but did you check what vga-card the vm is using?
New vbox VMs default to their new vmware-svga card emulation, in which case
vboxvideo is not used at all, vboxvideo is only used with the older VboxVGA
and VboxSVGA (*) virtual vga-cards.
Anyway, thanks a lot for providing the fix.
You are welcome.
Regards,
Hans
*) Of course once I finally get their driver upstream they deprecate it,
grumble.
