DDC reading via the Video BIOS may take several tens of seconds with

 Make this option configurable and select only for drivers that need it.
But that's not what the patch actually does - it requires that the user

Also, is it not possible to defer this operation until we've parsed the
command line, control it with a kernel boot parameter?
