The kernel's, or the X.org's one?

To state it explicitly: I haven't tested X with kernel's i915
and without fbcon — only X without /either/ of i915 and fbcon.
I hope to check whether the respective kernel modules can be
“blacklisted” via modprobe.conf(5) shortly.
--cut: /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist --
# This file lists modules which will not be loaded as the result of
# alias expansion, with the purpose of preventing the hotplug subsystem
# to load them. It does not affect autoloading of modules by the kernel.
# This file is provided by the udev package.
--cut: /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist --
(But I still wonder, is this the hotplug subsystem that loads
the modules in question, or is it the kernel?)
