Why is VGA_SWITCHEROO enabled by default?

We don't do things like that. New drivers and new features are _not_ 
enabled by default, unless there is some overriding reason why they should 
be. And I don't see that reason.

Please stop doing that. The whole "default y" is a f*cking disease. Yes, a 
developer always thinks that _his_ new code is so special and important 
that it should be enabled by default, BUT HE IS WRONG.

So remember: unless your new feature cures cancer, it should damn well not 
be enabled by default.

I disabled it in the merge, since I had to fix up that file anyway. But 
please don't make me do these so-called "evil merges" where I end up 
modifying the thing I merge.
