Hmm, I think you want a PV Linux DRM/KMS driver, but that doesn't
mean you want/need a protocol by that name. The interface has
to describe virtual hardware, and I don't think you'd call a

card "DRM/KMS card"?
Good point, then I would suggest we name it dspl for display (PV
display),
e.g. vdspl, not vdrm.

What about DISPL / vDISPL, which is a little easier to pronounce,
remember, and map back to 'display' (while dspl sounds to me a lot like
the name of one of those obscure ACPI tables, or something like that!
:-P).

Or, if you want it to be consonant only, how about GFX / vGFX, for
'graphics' ('graphix').
Yeah, I'd personally like gfx (and hence gfxif.h) better. But again
I'll leave the final word to the slated maintainer.
I think that GFX may mislead and make people think it is somehow
related to what GPU normally does.
So, I would vote for DISPL/vDISPL
