Phoronix: The Intel Graphics Highlights Of The Linux 4.5 Kernel

While we've already been writing at length about the DRM graphics driver changes you will be able to find with the Linux 4.5 kernel, here's a nice overview of the Intel-specific i915 DRM graphics changes for this next version of the Linux kernel...

I'm a bit confused: Do any of these features require additional *kernel* code? I assumed this article was about the Linux kernel, not about Mesa?
Or is this just your version of "Carthage must be destroyed"?
