Looks like efifb continues to claim the framebuffer resource
(0xc0000000-0xc0ffffff) for some reason, so bochs-drm can't
reserve it.

No clue why, also doesn't reproduce here (standard fedora 31 5.4.7
kernel).  I don't have an encrypted disk, so no passphrase prompt,
maybe that makes a difference.

How does /proc/iomem look after boot, specifically the 0000:00:02.0 pci
bars?

cheers,
