Gerd, thank you very much! It's was indeed unclear to me how to test the
MMIO GPU, but yours variant with microvm works! I was looking for trying
aarch64 in the past, but it also was unclear how to do it since there is
no DT support for the VirtIO-GPU, AFAICS.

I booted kernel with this patchset applied and everything is okay, Xorg
works.

 [drm] Initialized virtio_gpu 0.1.0 0 for LNRO0005:01 on minor 0
 virtio-mmio LNRO0005:01: [drm] drm_plane_enable_fb_damage_clips() not
called
 virtio-mmio LNRO0005:01: [drm] fb0: virtio_gpudrmfb frame buffer device

There is no virgl support because it's a virtio-gpu-device and not
virtio-gpu-device-gl that is PCI-only in Qemu. Hence everything seems good.

I'd appreciate if you could give s390x a test.. I never touched s390x
and it will probably take some extra effort to get into it.
