The vboxvideo driver is missing a call to remove conflicting framebuffers.
Surprisingly, when using legacy BIOS booting this does not really cause
any issues. But when using UEFI to boot the VM then plymouth will draw
on both the efifb /dev/fb0 and /dev/drm/card0 (which has registered
/dev/fb1 as fbdev emulation).
VirtualBox will actual display the output of both devices (I guess it is
showing whatever was drawn last), this causes weird artifacts because of
pitch issues in the efifb when the VM window is not sized at 1024x768
(the window will resize to its last size once the vboxvideo driver loads,
changing the pitch).
Adding the missing drm_fb_helper_remove_conflicting_pci_framebuffers()
call fixes this.
Changes in v2:
-Make the drm_fb_helper_remove_conflicting_pci_framebuffers() call one of
the first things we do in our probe() method

The data structure |struct drm_vram_mm| and its helpers replace vboxvideo's
TTM-based memory manager. It's the same implementation; except for the type
names.
v4:
* don't select DRM_TTM or DRM_VRAM_MM_HELPER
v3:
* use drm_gem_vram_mm_funcs
* convert driver to drm_device-based instance
v2:
* implement vbox_mmap() with drm_vram_mm_mmap()

This patch replaces |struct vbox_bo| and its helpers with the generic
implementation of |struct drm_gem_vram_object|. The only change in
semantics is that &ttm_bo_driver.verify_access() now does the actual
verification.
v4:
* select config option DRM_VRAM_HELPER
v3:
* remove forward declaration of struct vbox_gem_object
v2:
nothing
