This will be really useful to not accidentally leave users without display output. I've played with the option, but it does not work are purely as shown in the example. I think it's because EFIDRM and VESADRM are existing options. So they already have a value. What I did instead was to add new internal config options. They depend on the now-transitional SYSFB_SIMPLEFB and select the correct drivers. Once SYSFB_SIMPLEFB goes away, these options can go away as well.
