Subject: kms in defconfig

Hi guys,

I just noticed CONFIG_DRM_I915_KMS is enabled for x86-64.

This should never be the case, as anyone who built defconfig kernels before,
will now get KMS enabled when really they need to have done userspace upgrades.

KMS should default to n in the upstream kernel, for at least 4-5 years.

Dave.
