    Description:

    This update adds support for Intel Bay Trail CPUs.

    Two new packages have been included in the product: a newer version of the Intel graphics driver for X.Org (xf86-video-intel) and newer versions of the drm and agpgart kernel modules (drm-kmp).

    In order to use the updated drivers on Bay Trail systems, the SLEPOS images must be updated to contain packages xf86-video-intel and drm-kmp-default from the SLEPOS 11-SP3 update channel. A new initrd and up-to-date kernel should also be used, unless kexec based boot is preferred (see section 6.4.2 in SLEPOS 11 SP3 documentation).
