Bug Description

We need to support Broadwell (BDW) graphics in trusty, but some components are not fresh enough to provide a satisfactory user experience, most notably the 3.13 kernel and mesa 10.1.

For the kernel the plan is to provide a separate driver module (i915_bdw) like for Haswell in quantal. The i915 driver in 3.13 is buggy and lacking features for BDW, so pulling the driver from current drm-intel-next branch would provide what'll end up in 3.15. The i915 drivers will be modified so that only i915_bdw loads on BDW machines, and only there. The driver will get further updates along the way, and possibly also rebased to a later kernel release.
