Per Zhenlei Huang's suggestion to use /boot/device.hints to avoid
vertio_gpu replacing efifb , the details I used for mine are:

# more /boot/device.hints
# dmesg -a | grep -i "virtio.*gpu"
# virtio_pci1: <VirtIO PCI (modern) GPU adapter> mem 0x10000000-0x17ffffff,0x18008000-0x18008fff,0x18000000-0x18003fff at device 10.0 on pci0
hint.virtio_pci.1.disabled="1"

Thanks Zhenlei.
