Right now it doesn't.

Needs more virtual hardware changes, the stdvga has no support for
interrupts, so qemu can't signal an edid update to the guest.

So not not sure yet what to do about it.  Maybe add it later (but it's
not high priority).  Maybe simply recommend to use virtio-gpu instead.

Oh, yes, we leak that on driver unload.
I'll fix it.
