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.
