do you know if this will be MFC'ed (dunno if this is the right 
terminology still :) into the 9.x branch? Also, is this the last missing 
piece to get the Intel Haswell graphics to work or are there other 
pieces that have yet to be committed? Really looking forward to using my 
Haswell's accelerated goodness versus using fall-back VESA drivers :)

Thanks to any and all that are making this possible!
