[PATCH 1/2] drm: Move nomodeset kernel parameter to drivers/video

[Thomas Zimmermann <tzimmermann@suse.de>]

Move the nomodeset kernel parameter to drivers/video to make it
available to non-DRM drivers. Adapt the interface, but keep the DRM
interface drm_firmware_drivers_only() to avoid churn within DRM. The
function should later be inlined into callers.

The parameter disables any DRM graphics driver that would replace a
driver for firmware-provided scanout buffers. It is an option to easily
fallback to basic graphics output if the hardware's native driver is
broken. Moving it to a more prominent location wil make it available
to fbdev as well.
