I have a machine that randomy crash during boot since we had the Linux 5.x
DRM import. The feature is still an asset, since it supports the GPU
that was not supported before, but it suggests booting with DRM based
framebuffer is more fragile than booting without. Perhaps we need a boot
flag to disable framebuffer?
