[PATCH] i915: Add a Kconfig option to turn oni915.preliminary_hw_support by default

[Josh Triplett]

When building kernels for a preliminary hardware target, having to add a
kernel command-line option can prove inconvenient.  Add a Kconfig option
that changes the default of this option to 1.

I dropped the indication of the default in the module parameter
documentation, but I could also change it to show the default for the
current kernel via ifdef.
