I'm adding a task for gdm to this bug.  The reason is that if simpledrm
is used, we've found race conditions that occur where the transition
from simpledrm to the proper KMS driver may race with gdm starting up
the login screen.

When gdm loses the race you end up with a black screen.  So please make
sure that any kernels that do adopt simpledrm the matching GDM for OS
releases that run this kernel (think about HWE!) will need to pick up
this GDM fix as well.
