[PATCH 02/11] drm/i915: add config option to enable/disable DP MST

From: Dave Airlie <airlied at redhat.com>

Since DP MST has new userspace requirements and any effort at trying
to shoehorn things into the something the current userspace can handle are
doomed, lets just put this behind a config option.

This also adds a command line arg to switch it on as well.

Distros should probably turn it on when they have a new enough Xorg intel driver.
