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/

Added initramfs-tools because i915_bpo needs to be added to the list of modules to include.
