Thanks Dexuan for the review.

I guess that mean for Gen-2 VM need to rely on vmbus_allocate_mmio to
get the VRAM memory? From what I understand the pci interface anyway
maps to vmbus.

I deliberately left this and things seems to work without this, maybe I
need to do more testing. I don't really understand the use-case
of SYNTHVID_FEATURE_CHANGE. I observed this message was received just
after vmbus connect and DRM is not yet initialized so no point updating
the situation. Even otherwise situation (mode, damage, etc.) is
triggered from user-space, not sure what to update. But will definitely
clarify on this.
