I like the sentiment here, but I'm not sure this is really in the
spirit of the criteria - Vasily, as I understand it, is still in the
process of implementing the support for UEFI on VirtualBox.
There's at least two issues here.
One is that we're not shipping the native X driver for vbox video yet.
Last I checked this was because it's hidden away in the vbox source, and
didn't build against whatever X server we were shipping, and that vbox
upstream didn't _want_ it shipped externally yet because they hadn't
finalized the interface.
The other is that the kernel doesn't seem to be binding an efifb device
to it, and/or that it is and X is not noticing that and thus loads vesa
instead of fbdev.
