A recent commit removing the use of screen_info introduced a logic
error. The error causes hvfb_getmem() to always return -ENOMEM
for Generation 2 VMs. As a result, the Hyper-V frame buffer
device fails to initialize. The error was introduced by removing
an "else if" clause, leaving Gen2 VMs to always take the -ENOMEM
error path.
Fix the problem by removing the error path "else" clause. Gen 2
VMs now always proceed through the MMIO memory allocation code,
but with "base" and "size" defaulting to 0.

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.
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.
