Could you use an 'else' clause here and eliminate the above
'goto' statement?  I know that makes the below code be indented
one level deeper, but that doesn't seem particularly problematic
here.  The reason we have 'else' clauses is to avoid 'goto's and
labels.  :-)

The above test seems unnecessary.  A lot of things would have
broken before getting to this function if hdev was NULL.

I wonder if we want to show the physical address here.  The Linux kernel
definitely does not show kernel virtual addresses due to security
concerns, and I'm wondering if the same applies to physical addresses.
What's the benefit to showing the physical address?

And in the message "starts" should be "starting".

There's a small memory leak here.  The apertures are never freed in any
of the error cases in this function, or in hvfb_putmem().  This is not a bug you
introduced -- the original code had the same leak.

Maybe change the 'getmem1' label to 'done' or something similarly
indicative having successfully completed everything that needs to be
done?

I'd suggest changing the message to say "Using MMIO instead".  This is just an
informative message indicating what the driver is doing.  "Use MMIO instead"
sounds like a directive to the user to do something different, like change his
kernel configuration, and that's not the intent.

> +	}

In the above code, there are three, almost consecutive, tests of the "gen2vm"
variable.  It seems like the apertures could be allocated first, and then the three
tests combined into one test.  Then you have one range of code for Gen 1 and
another range for Gen 2 and fewer lines 'if' statements, 'else' statements, and
curly braces.

With your change, remove_conflicting_framebuffers() is called for both
Gen 1 and Gen 2 VMs.  In the old code, it was called only for Gen 2 VMs.
Is this change intentional?  If so, why?  I haven't delved into the details
of what remove_conflicting_framebuffers() does, so my question is 
more of a double-check rather than my definitely thinking something
is wrong.

There's a small memory leak in the above statement.  The data
structure pointed to by "mem" is not freed.   The same problem
occurs in hvfb_getmem() in the "err2" path.   This bug existed in
the old code as well, so it was not introduced by your changes.
