    drm/i915: Insert i915_preliminary_hw_support variable. · 0a3af268
    Rodrigo Vivi authored
    On the worst scenario, users with new hardwares and old kernel from
    enabling times can get black screens.  So, from now on, this
    perliminary_hw_support module parameter shall be used by all upcoming
    platforms that are still under enabling. The second option would be to
    merge the pci ids after basic modeset works, but that makes testing
    and development while bringing up hw a rather tedious afair.
    
    Although it is uncomfortable for developers use this extra variable it
    brings more stability for end users.

    [danvet: dropped the i915_ param prefix, i915.i915_ is just tedious.]
