If the framebuffer address provided by the Graphics Output Protocol (GOP) is covered by the UEFI memory map, it will tell us which memory attributes are permitted when mapping this region. In some cases, (KVM guest on ARM), violating this will result in loss of coherency, which means that updates sent to the framebuffer by the guest will not be observeable by the host, and the emulated display simply does not work. So if the memory map contains such a description, take the attributes field into account, and add support for creating WT or WB mappings of the framebuffer region.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
