Looks good to me, please push.

I just checked, and it's already enabled in our ARM and ARM64 configs.
FYI, our x86_64 and i686 configs were originally copied from
<https://jxself.org/git/kernel-configs.git>, and that's where the
decision to disable CONFIG_DRM_BOCHS originally came from. In that
repo, you can see signs of indecision about whether to include that
module. It was disabled in Jason's configs for 3.14-4.6, enabled in
4.7-4.15, disabled again in 4.16-4.18, and then enabled again in 4.19.
Since around 4.1 or 4.2, I've stopped looking at
<https://jxself.org/git/kernel-configs.git> and been using my own
judgement about new kernel configuration options brought to my attention
by "make oldconfig", but I haven't reviewed most of the older options.
Anyway, thanks for the patch!
Mark
