This really doesn't have much to do with DRM but more about running
questionable code. That's why I went with the generalized stern
warning and default n, and explained when it's ok to do this (single
user and you care more about fbcon performance than potential issues
because you only run trusted stuff with access to your vt and fbdev
/dev node). Also you didn't keep any todo entry for removing DRM accel
code, and iirc some nouveau folks also complained that they at least
once had some kind of accel, so that's another reason to not tie this
to DRM.

Anyway aside from this looks reasonable, can you pls respin with a
more cautious Kconfig text?

Thanks, Daniel
