From: Kairui Song <kas...@redhat.com> [ Upstream commit 3cb73bc3fa2a3cb80b88aa63b48409939e0d996b ]
On gen2 HyperV VM, hyperv_fb will remove the old framebuffer, and the new allocated framebuffer address could be at a differnt location, and it might be no longer a VGA framebuffer. Update screen_info so that after kexec the kernel won't try to reuse the old invalid/stale framebuffer address as VGA, corrupting memory.
