[PATCH v4 0/2] ramfb: Add property to control if load the romfile

[Shaoqin Huang <shahuang@redhat.com>]

Now the ramfb will load the vgabios-ramfb.bin unconditionally, but only
the x86 need the vgabios-ramfb.bin, this can cause that when use the
release package on arm64 it can't find the vgabios-ramfb.bin.

Because only seabios will use the vgabios-ramfb.bin, load the rom logic
is x86-specific. For other !x86 platforms, the edk2 ships an EFI driver
for ramfb, so they don't need to load the romfile.

So add a new property use_legacy_x86_rom in both ramfb and vfio_pci
device, because the vfio display also use the ramfb_setup() to load
the vgabios-ramfb.bin file.

After have this property, the machine type can set the compatibility to
not load the vgabios-ramfb.bin if the arch doesn't need it.

Then I set the use_legacy_x86_rom property to false by default, and only set it
to true on x86 since only x86 will need it.

Changelog:
---------
v3 -> v4:
  - Set the new property to false by default, only set it to true on x86.
v2 -> v3:
  - Fix the underscore error.
  - Add a new patch to set the property in arm compatibility.
v1 -> v2:
  - Change the property name.
