Hrm, is this right with respect to the KMS driver? If we specify a
console resolution requiring KMS, does this work with DRM_I915 as a module?
Yes, I think so. :)
Er, I mean, boot progress would be fine .. just delayed KMS
initialization then console resolution would be changed after the
module loaded.
Personally I'd prefer this stayed as a =y. I see very little need for
Actually, I see 'm' will be more flexible. Eg, when its be 'y',
intel-agp also *have to be* 'y'. But with a 'm', it would offer
convenience.
modules in kernels tailored for specific systems. i915 config is already
separated out... why make KMS a module?
Not for the kernel configure option, its still be 'y', but as soon as
drm-i915 be 'm', its actually be 'm'. :)
Besides, I see distroes make drm drivers be modules as much as
possible, seems it would works good, reduced kernel footprint, gain
flexible etc. So I wonder if you know some explicit benefits that I
did not aware of .. to support it stay as 'y' ? :)
bump. I'm sitting on all these patches until the Intel folks do an
ack / nack or otherwise on the queue .. since they are the creators
of the configs!

i915 drm driver doesn't have to be 'y' consider below facts:
o the drm driver is boot irrelevant
o reduce kernel footprint
o be fair to other drm drivers like drm-emgd and drm-cdv
