Before (with kernel 5.13) using video=efifb:off video=vesafb:off would fix this
(at the expense of boot messages).
With 7.2 (or kernel 5.15), I would expect video=simplefb:off to fix this, but I
my experience this does not work for every GPU.
I found that, for AMD GPUs, unblacklisting amdgpu AND not early binding to
vfio_pci AND removing those video= parameters works best.
amdgpu just takes over from the bootfb, and does release the GPU nicely to
vfio_pci when starting the VM.
(Of course, for AMD vendor-reset and reset_method=device_specific might be
required.)
I don't know if this also works for nouveau or i915.
I hope this helps,
Arjen
