No.

First, what is wrong with vkms?

Second, if you really want something simple with the minimal set of drm
features possible you can write a rather small but still self-contained
driver when using all the drm helpers (shmem, simple display pipe) we
have these days.  Copy cirrus, strip it down: drop modesetting code,
drop blit-from-shmem-to-vram code, drop pci probing.  Maybe add module
options for max/default video mode.  Done.

What is the use case btw?
