I'd like to see this coupled with the addition of a flag so we can
change "basic graphics mode" to force this. There's already a proposed
patch series upstream for this[1], so I think this isn't too hard to
achieve.

This would unblock closing the remaining gaps on the X11->Wayland
transition, since Mutter doesn't support fbdev for Wayland, and KWin's
Wayland session doesn't work with fbdev on our kernel for some reason.
