The amdgpu vkms interface provides a virtual KMS interface for several use cases: devices without display hardware, platforms where the actual display hardware is not useful (e.g., servers), SR-IOV virtual functions, device emulation/simulation, and device bring up prior to display hardware being usable. We previously emulated a legacy KMS interface, but there was a desire to move to the atomic KMS interface. The vkms driver did everything we needed, but we wanted KMS support natively in the driver without buffer sharing and the ability to support an instance of VKMS per device. We first looked at splitting vkms into a stub driver and a helper module that other drivers could use to implement a virtual display, but this strategy ended up being messy due to driver specific callbacks needed for buffer management. Ultimately, it proved easier to import the vkms code as it mostly used core drm helpers anyway.
