[PATCH 0/2] Xorg: remove -probe, -probeonly and -modalias

This patchset is part of my previous RFC [0] to remove libpciaccess dependency
on the server. People refused to remove -configure option on that RFC so I'm
just considering the remaining removals.

Ideally we don't want code that does need root privilegies and/or initializes
the server just to get some information and immediately exits. This is not the
role of the X server.
