Sadly, the i915 driver cannot be currently used with Baytrail/Valleyview
GPUs due to a dependency on the agp driver.

On Linux, there is no need to use the agp driver anymore but we're not
there yet.

There are two ways to fix this:
- add Baytrail/Valleyview support to agp(4)
- Fix the drm/i915 driver to make it work without agp(4)

The second option is obviously the best one but could take longer to
implement.
