Evaluate xserver-xorg-video-modesetting for KMS support in QEMU and others
Originally created by @intrigeri on #7394 (Redmine)
It would be good to support KMS for more video adapters in Tails, especially to allow migrating to GNOME Classic in Jessie (#7311 (closed)), and to make our upcoming custom Plymouth theme (#5948) work on a broader range of hardware. This would also generally improve the user story we provide to people who use Tails in virtual machines, e.g. with the QEMU (virtual) Cirrus video adapter.
