Understood.  I noticed that DRM_I915 does a "select ACPI_VIDEO if ACPI",
which is why I mentioned that alternative below.  I don't recall how I got
the y+m combination above (I tend to build stuff in), but a randconfig
could certainly hit this.  I intend to leave it y+y when I'm done.

I'll test the Kconfig approach later today.
