Yeah I want to polish the igt fbdev testcase a bit, need a victim for fb
device selction. vkms was the quickest way to get two fbdev instances into
one box :-)

Plus more code we could test using igt & vkms in gitlab CI, whenever we
get around to that ...

If you have vkms enabled in a distro, you're doing it wrong.

Also, if you accidentally load vkms, then Xorg will happily bind to it
(maybe in preference to the real fbdev driver that's there as a simplefb).
So imo this problem isn't really new.
