For example I'm looking at making changes to DRM such that DRM will
require the corresponding framebuffer driver to be loaded.

Ignoring my suspicion that people won't like stuff getting forced down
their throats like this (why would a DRM _require_ a framebuffer
device?), does the hotplug blacklisting of the framebuffer devices
matter at all if the DRM depends on them, i.e. won't they be loaded
regardless when the DRM is loaded?

There is no mechanism for getting a hotplug remove event into a driver
like DRM that doesn't attach to the PCI device.
