We already allow the user to specify display="on" and ramfb="on" for mdev host devices. But newer GPU models will no longer use the mdev framework, so we should enable this same functionality for other non-mdev passthrough PCI devices.

With regards, Daniel
Apologies. The context is that we currently support enabling display and ramfb support for hostdev vGPUs, but only for those using the mdev subsystem. However, going forward, some graphics cards will no longer use mdev for their vGPUs. In order to maintain the same capability for these devices, we can also enable it for other PCI passthrough devices. Apparently this is something that's used heavily by layered products like OSP.
