Now the ramfb will load the vgabios-ramfb.bin unconditionally, but only
the x86 need the vgabios-ramfb.bin, this can cause that when use the
release package on arm64 it can't find the vgabios-ramfb.bin.
Because only seabios will use the vgabios-ramfb.bin, load the rom logic
is x86-specific. For other !x86 platforms, the edk2 ships an EFI driver
for ramfb, so they don't need to load the romfile.
So add a new property use_legacy_x86_rom in both ramfb and vfio_pci
device, because the vfio display also use the ramfb_setup() to load
the vgabios-ramfb.bin file.
After have this property, the machine type can set the compatibility to
not load the vgabios-ramfb.bin if the arch doesn't need it.
I set the "use-legacy-x86-rom" property on arm to false, thus the arm won't load
the vgabios-ramfb.bin.
I want to set the "use-legacy-x86-rom" property to false by default, and only
set it to true on x86, but I didn't find the similiar thing like the
arm_virt_compat, so I didn't use this way.
