Subject: [PATCH 2.4.22-pre10] Cleanup DRM menu and give it a submenu

Hi Marcelo,

I've been getting complaints about the menu structure from the linux kernel
config subsystem for a _long time_. Now let's clean up the DRM menu and give
it a submenu. We are getting close that the menu will look more cleaner :)

More cleanups for different menu's are following.

Please apply for 2.4.22-pre10. Thank you :)

ciao, Marc

Is this really worth doing ? `make menuconfig' seems to hide the
options nicely until you turn drm on, and more importantly the 2.4
kernel modules aren't exactly useful with X-4.3 so they're becoming
increasingly redundant.

I think it is usefull. The more stuff you've enabled in your config, the more
it becomes unreadable/confusing/complex etc.

And DRM merge for full X4.3 DRI usage is pending for 2.4.23-pre1. It'y in my
draftbox and waiting for 2.4.22 final :)

ciao, Marc

Ok, I guess I'm used to the complexity.
