Title:
  Backport more recent driver for Skylake and Cherryview graphics
  hardware

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  We need to support Skylake (SKL) and Cherryview (CHV) graphics in
  vivid, 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 Haswell in quantal and Broadwell in trusty. The
  i915 driver in 3.19 is buggy and lacking features for SKL/CHV, so
  pulling the driver from current drm-intel-next branch would provide
  what'll end up in 4.1. The i915 drivers will be modified so that only
  i915_bpo loads on SKL machines, and only there. The driver will get
  further updates along the way, and possibly also rebased to a later
  kernel release.
