legacy interface provided on top of DRM/KMS driver mostly via helper
functions.  With this approach, you get the richer KMS API (and all
the related plumbing for hotplug, EDID parsing, multi-head support,
flipping, etc) for userspace stuff that needs that, but can keep the
fbdev userspace interface for legacy apps.  It is the best of both
worlds.  There isn't really any good reason to propagate standalone
fbdev driver anymore.
