Is there a specific reason why they are blocked? 

For example I'm looking at making changes to DRM such that DRM will
require the corresponding framebuffer driver to be loaded. If you back

hardware from user space. Mode setting would come from the framebuffer
driver instead of the X 2D XAA driver.
