+      <p>
+	The project to update the Intel graphics chipset driver
+	(i915kms) to a recent snapshot of the Linux upstream code
+	continues. A patch with a large chunk of updates has been
+	made available to check for regressions against current
+	functionality, but is not yet expected to provide fully
+	functional new functionality.  The GEM I/O ioctl code path
+	has been modified to more closely resemble the Linux code
+	structure (easing future imports).
