We generally don't want people or distros to use this option unless they
know what they're doing. I missed the initial conversation but it's
likely a way for people who have a built-in i915.ko and have no other
way to change the behavior.
As such:
Set default to n
Display message for what users should select (N)
and while there, a small whitespace fix.

Choose this option if you have prerelease Intel hardware and want the

+ i915 driver to support it by default. You can enable such support at
