Title: Backport more recent driver for SKL, KBL and BXT graphics Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: We need to support Skylake (SKL), Kabylake (KBL) and Broxton (BXT) graphics in xenial, but the kernel driver is not fresh enough for proper support. For the kernel the plan is to provide a separate driver module (i915_bpo) like for Skylake/Broadwell/Braswell in vivid. The drm/i915 driver in 4.4 is not recent enough for SKL/KBL/BXT, so pulling the driver from current drm-intel-next branch would provide what'll end up in 4.6. The i915 drivers will be modified so that only i915_bpo loads on SKL/KBL/BXT machines, and only there. The driver will get further updates along the way, and possibly also rebased to a later kernel release.
