I don't think there's a need for a new module parameter, there's already
the virtio-gpu 'modeset' module parameter to enable/disable modsetting
and the global 'nomodeset' kernel cmdline parameter to do it for all DRM
drivers.
Currently, many drivers just fail to probe when 'nomodeset' is present,
but others only disable modsetting but keep the rendering part. In fact,
most DRM only drivers just ignore the 'nomodeset' parameter.
We could make virtio-gpu driver to only disable KMS with these params,
something like the following (untested) patch:

Subject: [PATCH] drm/virtio: Only disable KMS with nomodeset
The virtio-gpu driver currently fails to probe if either the "nomodeset"
kernel cmdline parameter is used or the module "modeset" parameter used.
But there may be cases where the rendering part of the driver is needed
and only the mode setting part needs to be disabled. So let's change the
logic to only disable the KMS part but still keep the DRM side of it.
