I tried keep int10 etc , but the argument was that everything was
replaced by modesetting and simpledrm and RHEL already removed int10 

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/ReplaceFbdevDrivers#Detailed_Description

so I guess nomodeset option also should be remove from the kernel
because now is useless , unless George or someone else show that still
be useful , i.e. simpledrm doesn't replace it .
