No, and intentionally. Actually removing the code for
user-mode-setting isn't just removing these two blocks, but requires
the gutting of roughly 10k lines splattered all over the driver.
Essentially all the code that checks for
!drm_core_check_feature(DRIVER_MODESET) needs to go. That's not quite
as trivial, and before I do that I want to make really sure that
really no one misses this option.

So probably after 3.17 is out the door for a bit.
