Testing i915 on Haswell (Acer E5-471G)

Hello, graphics team!

I purchased this laptop about a year and a half ago; as mentioned in
the subject line, it's an Acer E5-471G with an Intel Core i5-4210U.
I've been wanting to run FreeBSD on it for about a year, but either
because I'm not very experienced in tinkering or because I hadn't put
much time into it, I hadn't been able to get it running until now.

I'm happy to say that, with the new kernel drivers, it works! I'm able
to get both a console with vt and to run an X server. (I'm guessing
that FreeBSD was actually "running" much earlier than now, but for a
long time I couldn't get past a blank screen that would appear after
the loader prompt. If memory serves, on a whim I tried booting in
legacy mode and I could get a working console, and then a bunch of
searching and reading led me to trying out the new kernel drivers,
where I am now.)

I've attached the output of dmesg. (I can see that the system's
unhappy about something, and I'd like to dig further into that, but
I'm afraid I'm rather inexperienced in these matters, so I don't have
any insight at the moment.) I'd be happy to help out with any further
testing, if I can.

Thank you all for your fine work!
