IMO this is not a target for now.  The KMS currently is not integrated
with syscons at all, so startup of a KMS driver causes blank screen and
lost console. The vidconsole is functional, but it has no use for the
user who cannot see the output.  This is the state of i915 driver, which
does not provide a files glue for static linking into the kernel, for
the described reason.

Solving integration issues with syscons is rather pointless, both due
to the baroque interface of the syscons, and due to the supposed replacement
of syscons, available in the base/user/ed/newcons.
