Move a number of files into modules and behind config options.
So far, early boot graphics was provided by fbdev. With simpledrm, and
possibly other generic DRM drivers, it's now possible to have general
early-boot output with DRM. This requires the DRM core to be linked into
the kernel binary image.
The reduction in size here is only ~1%, but the patchset is part of a
larger effort to reduce the size of the DRM core module.
Thomas Zimmermann (3):
drm: Build drm_irq.o only if CONFIG_DRM_LEGACY has been set
drm: Link several object files into drm_kms_helper.ko
drm: Move GEM memory managers into modules
