I believe this is a huge step backwards from current kernel design standards, which prefer modularity.
But it makes things behave in the way that userspace expects, which is more important.
Why would userspace care about the modularity of kernel drivers? The only thing that userspace should care about is whether there's a DRM device or not. How the kernel makes that happen should be completely irrelevant to userspace.
