Feel free to add i2c dependencies to drmkms_linux.

My original plan was to create a separate drmkms_i2c module
(corresponding to the drmkms_i2c flag in files.drmkms), so that drmkms
drivers not needing wouldn't pull it in, like with drmkms_pci.

Probably less worthwhile than drmkms_pci (which will be useful for ARM
drivers that don't use PCI, although they haven't been ported yet),
but there's no harm in keeping the dependency listed as a reminder.

Properly sorting it out will probably entail making a separate
linux_i2c module depending on iic/i2cexec/whatever, and making a
drmkms_i2c module to depend on linux_i2c.  But there's no particular
impetus to do that at the moment.
