viafb: add X server compatibility mode
This patch adds a config option to be compatible with X servers like OpenChrome. This is required as for example the X server does not handle things like disabled IGAs/PLLs resulting in a potential freeze on X startup. With this option disabled we can provide some nice features like power management and not reinitializing the hardware on every mode switch (taking long time, causing flickering).
