There have been moments where I wondered if FRAMEBUFFER=y needs to exist, but I think it's good to keep because:

 * It's simpler for consumers.
 * It prevents other packages from accidentally pulling in more drivers than they need to (like Plymouth does right now).
 * It prevents other packages from having to learn new syntax.
 * I don't think there should be a "drm" class because it implies the full set of large DRM drivers that we _don't_ want.
