Rob Clark 72122c69d7 drm/virtio: Add option to disable KMS support
Add a build option to disable modesetting support.  This is useful in
cases where the guest only needs to use the GPU in a headless mode, or
(such as in the CrOS usage) window surfaces are proxied to a host
compositor.

As the modesetting ioctls are a big surface area for potential security
bugs to be found (it's happened in the past, we should assume it will
again in the future), it makes sense to have a build option to disable
those ioctls in cases where they serve no legitimate purpose.

v2: Use more if (IS_ENABLED(...))
v3: Also permit the host to advertise no scanouts
v4: Spiff out commit msg
v5: Make num_scanouts==0 and DRM_VIRTIO_GPU_KMS=n behave the same
v6: Drop conditionally building virtgpu_display.c and early-out of
    it's init/fini fxns instead

This is the virtual GPU driver for virtio. It can be used with
QEMU based VMMs (like KVM or Xen).
If unsure say M.

Enable modesetting support for virtio GPU driver. This can be
disabled in cases where only "headless" usage of the GPU is
required.
If unsure, say Y.
