Do drm and i915 work at all with our userland? ISTR that because Debian
userland is built with KMS support, it expects drm2 and i915kms, but it
still tries to load the old modules because it's using insmod/modprobe
command aliases that expect Linux module names.

FreeBSD provides both because their users can choose, but I'm not sure
if this makes sense for us. If it doesn't, we could patch kfreebsd to
rename the modules.
