Many DRM drivers feature a 'modeset' argument, which can be used to
enable/disable the entire driver (as opposed to passing nomodeset to the
kernel, which would disable modesetting globally and make it difficult to
load amdgpu afterwards). Apparently amdgpu is actually missing this
however, so let's add it!
Keep in mind that this currently just lets one enable or disable amdgpu, I
haven't bothered adding a headless mode like nouveau has - however I'm sure
someone else can add this if needed.
