Mmm. AFAICT the keyword stuff here is a legacy of trying to be
compatible with XFree86 3.x configs, which didn't have the Option
syntax. Given there are only two drivers that would honor whatever
value you'd set - both of which normally DTRT from PCI configuration -
I don't imagine anyone is relying on this keyword actually taking
effect. But you're right, this would turn a no-op into a parse error,
that's not cool.

I'll drop the keyword bits when merging this, thanks for the catch.
