Daniel Vetter 4520f53a15 drm/i915: Kconfig option to disable the legacy fbdev support
Boots Just Fine (tm)!

The only glitch seems to be that at least on Fedora the boot splash
gets confused and doesn't display much at all.

And since there's no ugly console flickering anymore in between, the
flicker while switching between X servers (VT support is still enabled)
is even more jarring.

Also, I'm unsure whether we don't need to somehow kick out vgacon, now
that nothing else gets in the way. But stuff seems to work, so I
don't care. Also everything still works as well with VGA_CONSOLE=n

Also the #ifdef mess needs a bit of a cleanup, follow-up patches will
do just that.

To keep the Kconfig tidy, extract all the i915 options into its own
file.

v2:
- Rebase on top of the preliminary hw support option and the
  intel_drv.h cleanup.
- Shut up warnings in i915_debugfs.c

v3: Use the right CONFIG variable, spotted by Chon Ming.

Choose this option if you have a system that has "Intel Graphics
Media Accelerator" or "HD Graphics" integrated graphics,
including 830M, 845G, 852GM, 855GM, 865G, 915G, 945G, 965G,
G35, G41, G43, G45 chipsets and Celeron, Pentium, Core i3,
Core i5, Core i7 as well as Atom CPUs with integrated graphics.
If M is selected, the module will be called i915. AGP support
is required for this driver to work. This driver is used by
the Intel driver in X.org 6.8 and XFree86 4.4 and above. It
replaces the older i830 module that supported a subset of the
hardware in older X.org releases.
Note that the older i810/i815 chipsets require the use of the
i810 driver instead, and the Atom z5xx series has an entirely
different implementation.
config DRM_I915_KMS
bool "Enable modesetting on intel by default"
depends on DRM_I915
help
Choose this option if you want kernel modesetting enabled by default,
and you have a new enough userspace to support this. Running old
userspaces with this enabled will cause pain. Note that this causes
the driver to bind to PCI devices, which precludes loading things
like intelfb.

help
Choose this option if you have a need for the legacy fbdev
support. Note that this support also provide the linux console
support on top of the intel modesetting driver.
config DRM_I915_PRELIMINARY_HW_SUPPORT
bool "Enable preliminary support for prerelease Intel hardware by default"
depends on DRM_I915
help
Choose this option if you have prerelease Intel hardware and want the
i915 driver to support it by default. You can enable such support at
runtime with the module option i915.preliminary_hw_support=1; this
option changes the default for that module option.
If in doubt, say "N".
