Move a number of files into modules and behind config options.
So far, early boot graphics was provided by fbdev. With simpledrm, and possibly other generic DRM drivers, it's now possible to have general early-boot output with DRM. This requires the DRM core to be linked into the kernel binary image.
The reduction in size here is only ~1%, but the patchset is part of a larger effort to reduce the size of the DRM core module.
