Daniel Vetter b30324adaf drm/i915: Deprecated UMS support
It's been 5 years since kms support was merged and roughly 4 years
since UMS support was ripped out from userspace drivers.

Thus far it's not been a big burden to keep the ums paths alive, and
we've made some good progress in better separating it from the kms
code by sprinkling DRIVER_MODESET checks all over the place.

But now that the drm demidlayering is within reach this changes. I
want to make the driver loading code more robust using devres.c and
other cool tricks. But that doesn't work with ums due to the
shadow-attach trick. Which means we either
a) need to split out a complete ums codebase like radeon has
b) kill it for good.

The 2nd option is obviously much less work than the first, so I think
it's time to test the waters and see how many people out there still
use ums.

I've decided that silently failing to initialize the driver (and not
e.g. failing to load the module) is the right thing. That way we
should only get reports from users that actually care about some ums
features (like accelerated gl or support for secondary outputs).
Everyone else will just fall back to the vesa X driver.

For developers there's a small info level dmesg output.

The plan is to drop this Kconfig option after 3.16 (so gives us 2 full
releases) and then start killing code for real 2-3 releases
afterwards. That should be more than enough time for users to pipe up.

Of course if anyone does we need to revisit this plan and maybe go
with option a) above.

Also enable the KMS support by default in Kconfig and polish the help
texts a bit.

v2: Add the missing hunk of actual code changes. Oops. (Ville)

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.

Choose this option if you want kernel modesetting enabled by default.
If in doubt, say "Y".

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.
If in doubt, say "Y".
config DRM_I915_PRELIMINARY_HW_SUPPORT
bool "Enable preliminary support for prerelease Intel hardware by default"
depends on DRM_I915
default n
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".
config DRM_I915_UMS
bool "Enable userspace modesetting on Intel hardware (DEPRECATED)"
depends on DRM_I915
default n
help
Choose this option if you still need userspace modesetting.
Userspace modesetting is deprecated for quite some time now, so
enable this only if you have ancient versions of the DDX drivers.
If in doubt, say "N".
