enable efifb for Nvidia
The Nvidia prorietary driver has bugs that prevents it to be used with the simpledrm driver. Namely, the fact that doesn't register a fbdev emulated device and just relies on existing fbdev drivers to have a VT. We have a workaround that skips a "simple-framebuffer" platform device if the nvidia-drm.modeset=1 kernel cmdline param is set and "efi-framebuffer" device is registered instead. But for this to work, the legacy efifb and vesafb drivers must be enabled and we only enabled them for x86. Which means that the issue would still be present on Nvidia in other architectures such as aarch64. Reported-by:Jon Nettleton <jon@solid-run.com> Signed-off-by:
