According to disable Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.txt, the
nomodeset parameter can be used to disable kernel modesetting.
DRM drivers will not perform display-mode changes or accelerated rendering
and only the system framebuffer will be available if it was set-up.
But only a few DRM drivers currently check for nomodeset, so let's add two
helper macros that can be used by DRM drivers for PCI and platform devices
to have module init functions that checks if the drivers could be loaded.
