drm-panic: kernel: Enable SimpleDRM Currently on a LFS system booted via legacy BIOS (intead of UEFI), the users can make two different configurations: 1. The DRM driver for the GPU is built as a module. Then before the module is loaded (i.e. the root fs is properly mounted) the kernel messages are displayed via the VGA console. 2. The DRM driver for the GPU is built into the kernel image. Then the kernel messages are displayed via the DRM-emulated framebuffer console since a very early stage (before the root fs is properly mounted). When the system is booted via UEFI, we use SimpleDRM on the EFI framebuffer for displaying kernel messages, thus it's always the case 2. Both are not good for diagnostic in case the root fs cannot be mounted properly (it's very frequent on lfs-support): - With 1 the VGA console can only fit 80x24 characters, so the relevent information is often flushed away. - With 2 the panic message is often displayed improperly when a DRM driver is running. The "DRM panic" feature introduced since Linux 6.11 (but it'll only become usable for LFS since Linux 6.12) can fix the case 2, while case 1 just cannot be fixed. So start to make LFS booted via legacy BIOS to use method 2 now, then we can enable DRM panic and fix this long-standing issue.
