Not really - they are two drivers. If you build with i915 and not GMA500 you need the opregion for one and the acpi fallback for the other, and vice versa. So we have to check both CONFIG_xxx macro sets. Right now GMA500 needs the ACPI video stuff never to be enabled on some machines. Until we've got full opregion support in the driver that won't change.
