Oops, I'm blind and you're right, there's no bug. We already only
force-set this for legacy modeset (and fbcon).

That also means that atomic userspace has to handle this, which is maybe
not so awesome ... So maybe we need to duct-tape over this for atomic too,
and in that case it should be only done when ALLOW_MODESET is set.

But maybe all the compositors that care will handle this :-/
