A small low-level driver could handle this, which both the framebuffer
device and the DRM use. Linus has proposed this approach, and I must say
I like it.

That should be fbdev without fbcon.

I'm not sure that works: keep in mind that the DRM works on other OSs
than Linux, and even on Linux some people may want to use the DRM
without a framebuffer device. Neither should be a problem with a minimal
base driver which does nothing more than hardware resource management
and arbitration.
