Sorry for the delay in the response.

So the branch drm-i915-update-38 does not include Broadwell or Skylake
support. Compared to what is currently in HEAD, we will gain initial
support for Haswell and Valley View. By "initial", I mean experimental
and unstable. We will need code from Linux 3.9 and 3.10 to have a more
robust support for those two GPU families.

If you are willing to help, you are very welcome! Before committing this
branch, we need to fix any regressions with currently supported GPUs. Do
you have access to Sandybridge or Ivy Bridge computers?

If you prefer to work on bringing new code from Linux, please fork my
drm-i915-update-38 branch and try to import commits from Linux 3.9. I
don't know what's the best course of actions: either one commit at a
time or one file at a time. Are you interested in this task?
