Fail to init i965_drv_video

[Jeff Abrahamson]

This could be a bug in the i965_drv_video driver, but here I can offer a reproducible case. The initial part (using youtube-dl) merely serves to provide a reproducible case as long as that particular video remains online.

System is ubuntu 15.10. Note that opening the video in firefox works fine, so somehow, somewhere, it is possible to play it on an ubuntu linux system. This repeats on another host of mine, so I don't think it is my specific hardware (though it might be).

I see the above whether I use youtube-dl 2015-06-04.1 (ubuntu 15.10 repository) or 2016.03.06 (HEAD).
