The message printed when nomodeset is present in the kernel command line makes it look as if the parameter must never be used and it's a bad idea.
But there are valid reasons to use this parameter and the message should not imply otherwise. Change the text to be more accurate and restrained.

Changes in v4: - Don't mention DRM drivers in the kernel message and instead explain that only the system framebuffer will be available.
