[PATCH v4 2/2] hyperv-fb: kick off efifb early

From: Gerd Hoffmann
Date: Tue Feb 25 2014 - 07:32:31 EST


Remove firmware framebuffer before initializing hyperv-fb. Needed
on gen2 virtual machines. Letting register_framebuffer handle the
switchover results in efifb still being active while hyperv graphics
are initialized, which in turn can make the linux kernel hang.
