NAK, modesetting is mandatory for amdgpu and we should probably remove
the option to disable it from other DRM drivers without UMS support as
well (pretty much all of them now).
If you want to prevent a driver from loading I think the correct way to
do so is to give modprobe.blacklist=amdgpu on the kernel commandline.
That would remove the possibility to prevent the driver from loading
when it is compiled in, but I don't see much of a problem with that.
