Please no, I'd much rather have a better, more meaningful option
instead of "nomodeset". If anything, I would like this option to
eventually do nothing and replace it with a better named option that's
namespaced by drm on the command-line. That was part of the feedback I
gave in the original patch set, and I still stand by that.
