I disagree ( or we're talking about different things ) - as far as I can
tell the drm is more or less fb on drugs - offer an interface to map
parts of the framebuffer, registers etc., do some locking, probably do
some DMA - definitely belongs into the display driver as far as I'm
concerned. Of course surrounded by
#if NDRM > 0
...
#endif
just like the graphical console part is in
#if NWSDISPLAY > 0
...
#endif

they better be part of the same driver because if drm locks something it
should definitely lock against wsdisplay stuff too.

have fun
Michael
