On the worst scenario, users with new hardwares and old kernel from enabling times can get black screens.
So, now on, this i915_perliminary_hw_support variable shall be used by all upcoming platforms that are still under enabling.

Although it is uncomfortable for developers use this extra variable it brings more stability for end users.
