[Impact]

Ubuntu 22.04 does not support Intel DG2-based hw which is released later this year.

[Fix]

Mesa: needs a bunch of patches backported to 22.0.x, will be upstream in 22.1 or 22.2
kernel: use a dkms provided by Intel and integrated in the OEM kernel source, the module will be shipped in a separate modules package

[Test case]

Boot a system with a DG2-based GPU, check that native graphics drivers are used

[What could go wrong]

The Mesa patches are only for DG2 support, should not affect other hardware at all. The kernel driver is in a separate package which isn't installed by default except preinstall machines with this hardware. So other users are not affected.
