ok, mind filing that upstream on bugs.freedesktop.org, product DRI, component DRM/Intel?

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.
