This patch adds a Kconfig item to specify the default radeon modeset
value. Also fixed the description of CONFIG_DRM_RADEON_KMS.
Since KMS gives problems on some Radeon devices, it's safer to disable
it as default on distro kernels. But distros would love to include the
feature itself instead of disabling KMS completely.
