i915: Add option to bypass vbt table.
This change enables the use of displays where the vbt table just contains inappropriate values, but either the vesa defaults or the video=... modes do something sensible with the attached display. The problem happens with an embedded board that contains vbt bios tables that do not match the attached display. Using this change and the appropriate kernel boot command line they are able to use an otherwise completely unusable secondary display on that embedded board.
