Removed mention of eglplasma and changed it to egltriangle. I think
eglplasma has separate bugs that prevent it from working on i915.

** Description changed:

  There is a bugfix in 10.3.1 that will fix dma-buf handling in i915. So
  we would like to see the newest minor release of mesa, which is 10.3.1
  This will fix:
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1275398 and
  basically enable i915 devices to run mir.
