humn... but the end result is very odd: from my current config with DRM_XE=m,
DRM_XE_DISPLAY=y, DRM_I915=m. I then select DRM_I915=y and it (silently)
set DRM_XE_DISPLAY=n. So this would now be forbidden with no warning:

	CONFIG_DRM_I915=y
	CONFIG_DRM_XE=m
	CONFIG_DRM_XE_DISPLAY=y

Considering some distros have DRM_I915 as builtin, I don't think
that is a good outcome: it would basically block using display in xe and
a "make olddefconfig" would break. I think we really need to start
spliting the module and move the conflicting symbols.
