Saurabh checked this with Hyper-V team, who said there is no
Generation 1-specific block for larger VRAM sizes in Windows VM.

When the driver was originally developed, we didn't have the API
vmbus_allocate_mmio(), and I guess we just used the PCI device's BAR
address for simplicity, and didn't realize the restriction with very high
resolutions that require >64 MB VRAM. It looks like the synthetic
VMBus framebuffer device doesn't have to use the same MMIO range
used by the Hyper-V legacy PCI framebuffer device, so the patch
looks good to me.

BTW, please check the hyperv-drm driver as well:
drivers/gpu/drm/hyperv/hyperv_drm_drv.c
I think we should make the same change there to support 7680x4320
for Gen1 VMs.

Thanks,
Dexuan
