[RFC, drm-misc-next v4 5/9] drm/i915: Implement .be_primary() callback

From: Sui Jingfeng <suijingfeng at loongson.cn>

On a machine with multiple GPUs, a Linux user has no control over which one
is primary at boot time. This patch tries to solve the mentioned problem by
implementing the .be_primary() callback. Pass i915.modeset=10 on the kernel
cmd line if you really want the device bound by i915 drm driver to be the
primary video adapter, no matter what VGAARB say.
