UseFBDev is still a driver specific option (does the atimisc driver even have
it? Its maintainer doesn't like fbdev too much...), so the upper layer doesn't
care about it. It does have a 'framebuffer' mode now where it doesn't mess
with PCI directly if all devices are claimed by drivers which support it, but
AFAIK only the fbdev driver supports that right now.
