Paulo Zanoni 196e077dc1 drm: don't add inferred modes for monitors that don't support them
If bit 0 of the features byte (0x18) is set to 0, then, according to
the EDID spec, "the display is non-continuous frequency (multi-mode)
and is only specified to accept the video timing formats that are
listed in Base EDID and certain Extension Blocks".

For more information, please see the EDID spec, check the notes of the
table that explains the "Feature Support" byte (18h) and also the
notes on the tables of the section that explains "Display Range Limits
& Additional Timing Description Definition (tag #FDh)".

The Direct Rendering Manager (drm) is a device-independent kernel-level
device driver that provides support for the XFree86 Direct Rendering
Infrastructure (DRI).

The DRM supports the Direct Rendering Infrastructure (DRI) in four major
ways:

    1. The DRM provides synchronized access to the graphics hardware via
       the use of an optimized two-tiered lock.

    2. The DRM enforces the DRI security policy for access to the graphics
       hardware by only allowing authenticated X11 clients access to
       restricted regions of memory.

    3. The DRM provides a generic DMA engine, complete with multiple
       queues and the ability to detect the need for an OpenGL context
       switch.

    4. The DRM is extensible via the use of small device-specific modules
       that rely extensively on the API exported by the DRM module.


Documentation on the DRI is available from:
