For Joonas basically. :)

Rough goal - add Kconfig options to turn off supported platforms and count on
compiler DCE to make the driver smaller.

Tested as so much that it boots and renders on Skylake with all platforms/gens
older than Gen8 turned off.

    text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
1502847   54223    2888 1559958  17cd96 i915.ko.original
1375647   51939    2888 1430474  15d3ca i915.ko.gen8+

I've finished this today (all platforms plus some more details and changes) but wont' post it again. Instead who is interested can see it in my freedesktop git repo - people.freedesktop.org/~tursulin/drm-intel platform-kconfig - but for some reason it is not showing in GitWeb any longer.

Anyway.. with the latest build the i915.ko size goes from 15600073 to 1256697 when I enable only Skylake via Kconfig. This is 296kiB and close to 20% saving.

Regards,

Tvrtko
