mainlining shenanigans
3a6fb6c425
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.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
