--- Comment #2 from Jan Beich <jbeich@FreeBSD.org> ---
I don't maintain this anymore but updating requires non-trivial patching to
build, drm-kmod < 5.15 to run (see files/patch-userptr) and partially obsolete
after ports d8990eff958b. Intel is reluctant to accept FreeBSD patches[1]
unless you have a business case[2]. Better ignore Intel official drivers and
stick with Rusticl.

FreeBSD 13 uses drm-510-kmod where intel-compute-runtime may still work fine.
Only llvm11 flavor is supposed to be stable in the current version, see
https://github.com/intel/intel-graphics-compiler/blob/igc-1.0.12504.5/documentation/build_ubuntu.md#version-overview

[1] VA-API example - https://github.com/intel/media-driver/pull/819 . Instead
prefer Vulkan Video which (like Rusticl) is maintained by Mesa where Intel
cannot engage in gatekeeping.
[2] May be a good task for https://wiki.freebsd.org/EnterpriseWorkingGroup
