This option already exists on bttv driver (called no_overlay), with a
tree way state:
If not called, it read quirks and work as recommended. User may use it
also to force it either to force enable or to force disable. If the
chipset is blacklisted, it prints a warning if the user force enabling
overlay mode.

We have several reports of bad behaving on via KT chipsets, including
mass corruption at HD. 

Also, having PCI corruption at 1s or 30s means that pci-pci is not
working on both cases.

So, it is better to default to safe state (with pci-pci disabled on such
chipsets), but allowing it to be overriden with no_overlay option.
