      .VNC viewer correctly initializes a VM display after live migration of `ramfb`

      This update enhances the `ramfb` framebuffer device, which you can configure as a primary display for a virtual machine (VM). Previously, `ramfb` was unable to migrate, which resulted in VMs that use `ramfb` showing a blank screen after live migration. Now, `ramfb` is compatible with live migration. As a result, you see the VM desktop display when the migration completes.

      2.Migrate this vm to another host
      3.Check the vnc output after migration done

      Actual results:
      VNC show Guest has not initialized the display (yet)

      Expected results:
      VNC can display vnc console

      Additional info:
      VNC can display vnc console after rebooting the VM
