fd03d0e692 qemu: add a new video device model 'ramfb'
This device is a very simple framebuffer device supported by qemu that
is mostly intended to use as a boot framebuffer in conjunction with a
vgpu. However, there is also a standalone ramfb device that can be used
as a primary display device and is useful for e.g. aarch64 guests where
different memory mappings between the host and guest can prevent use of
other devices with framebuffers such as virtio-vga.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1679680 describes the
issues in more detail.
