I think the option would primarily be useful for testing. I've often
needed to test modesetting code without fbdev getting in the way and the
only way to currently do that is by recompiling with legacy fbdev
disabled. The option would allow an fbdev-enabled kernel to be used but
disable the fbdev code if desired.
