File only_use_fb_for_cirrus_bochs.patch of Package plymouth (Revision 8a793f980d703339711c571cca4a6324)

Subject: force fb for cirrus and bochs, force drm otherwise
References: bsc#888590, bsc#980750

DRM does not work well with cirrus and bochs (no display) but the framebuffer driver
prevents DRM drivers from loading.
As we need to support cirrus for libvirt and bochs for QEMU, we cannot just remove support for frame-buffer.
