2014-10-15vga-pci: add qext region to mmioGerd Hoffmann
Add a qemu extented register range to the standard vga mmio bar. Right nowe there are two registers: One readonly register returning the size of the region (so we can easily add more registers there if needed) and one endian control register, so guests (especially ppc) can flip the framebuffer endianness as they need it.

2014-04-28vga: add secondary stdvga variantGerd Hoffmann
Add a standard vga variant which doesn't occupy any legacy resources and thus can easily be used as secondary (or legacy-free) graphics adapter. Programming must be done using the MMIO bar. Signed-off-by: Gerd Hoffmann <kraxel@redhat.com>
2012-11-16vga: fix bochs alignment issueGerd Hoffmann
The bochs dispi interface traditionally uses port 0x1ce as 16bit index register and port 0x1cf as 16bit data register. The later is unaligned, and probably for that reason the the data register was moved to 0x1d0 for non-x86 archs. This patch makes the data register available at 0x1d0 on x86 too. The old x86 location is kept for compatibility reasons, so both 0x1cf and 0x1d0 can be used as data register on x86. Signed-off-by: Gerd Hoffmann <kraxel@redhat.com>
