SubjectRE: [PATCH v4] video: hyperv: hyperv_fb: Use physical memory for fb on HyperV Gen 1 VMs.

> On Hyper-V, Generation 1 VMs can directly use VM's physical memory for
> their framebuffers. This can improve the efficiency of framebuffer and
> overall performence for VM. The physical memory assigned to framebuffer
> must be contiguous. We use CMA allocator to get contiguouse physicial
> memory when the framebuffer size is greater than 4MB. For size under
> 4MB, we use alloc_pages to achieve this.
>
> To enable framebuffer memory allocation from CMA, supply a kernel
> parameter to give enough space to CMA allocator at boot time. For
> example:
> cma=130m
> This gives 130MB memory to CAM allocator that can be allocated to
> framebuffer. If this fails, we fall back to the old way of using
> mmio for framebuffer.

> - Use dma_alloc_coherent to allocate large contiguous memory
> - Use phys_addr_t for physical addresses
> - Corrected a few spelling errors and minor cleanups
> - Also tested on 32 bit Ubuntu guest
> v3: Fixed a build issue reported by kbuild test robot and incorported
> some review comments from Michael Kelley
> - Add CMA check to avoid link failure
> - Fixed small memory leak introduced by alloc_apertures
> - Cleaned up so code
> v4: Removed request_pages variable as it is no longer needed
