The CSM-based VideoDxe driver is a special UEFI_DRIVER module that both
follows and doesn't follow the UEFI driver model.
Namely, in the Supported and Start members of its Driver Binding Protocol
instance, it consumes the Legacy Bios Protocol directly from the UEFI
protocol database, as opposed to (only) opening protocols on the handle
that it is supposed to bind.
Furthermore, the driver "marks" its own image handle with the
NULL-interface "Legacy Bios" (pseudo-protocol) GUID, in order to "inform
back" the provider of the Legacy Bios Protocol, i.e., LegacyBiosDxe, that
VideoDxe is a "BIOS Thunk Driver" in the system.
Quoting "OvmfPkg/Csm/Include/Guid/LegacyBios.h", such a driver follows the
UEFI Driver Model, but still uses the Int86() or FarCall() services of the
Legacy Bios Protocol as the basis for the UEFI protocol it produces.
In a sense, there is a circular dependency between VideoDxe and
LegacyBiosDxe; each knows about the other. However, VideoDxe is a
UEFI_DRIVER, while LegacyBiosDxe is a platform DXE_DRIVER with a very long
DEPEX. Therefore, for keeping dependencies conceptually intact, first
exclude VideoDxe from the OVMF platforms. Always include the
hypervisor-specific real UEFI video driver.

Note that the pathname
"IntelFrameworkModulePkg/Csm/BiosThunk/VideoDxe/VideoDxe.inf" in the bhyve
platform DSC and FDF files is bogus anyway.
