[RFC][PATCH 00/10] drm: Add DRM module helpers for existing PCI drivers

[Thomas Zimmermann]

This is an RFC patchset to complement the helper macros provided
in [1]. The module helpers create module init and exit helpers that
respect the kernel parameters that enable/disable DRM drivers.

There's one more patch that prepares qxl by moving some code around.
It's required to make use of the helpers from within qxl.

Javier, please see if you find anything useful here and cherry-pick
into your patchset. The driver changes should complement the ones
in your patchset. The module macros are similar to yours and should
be easily mergable.

I tested the macros with ast.
