I started doing that but then got rapidly bored with copy-paste...  I
can split it up though.

Two classes of patches: delete the file and trim the file.

Where xorg.conf was deleted the only hardware I can (and did) test it
on was NUC.  I guess a representative sample of vesa and mga hardware
should be verified to still boot.

One instance of the trim patch was tested by Saul on his Minnow (whose
report of a broken touchscreen prompted this series) and oe-core has
had the same change for atom-pc/genericx86 for some time now.
