Hello, people.

I'm glad to announce that Martin's KMS bits has landed in OpenIndiana Hipster. After update you'll receive driver/graphics/drm@0.5.11-2016.0.1.0. We don't longer ship old drm from illumos-gate as it seems noone bothered to support it since 2010 (and they seem to be useless with our Xorg/Intel video driver version). If it changes, we can switch back. Old radeon drm driver, which as I know didn't work for any Radeon video adapter manufactured in 2006 or later, was removed. New driver should work fine with Intel HD Graphics 4000 and other modern Intel adapters. Old Intel adapters are likely to be not supported by this port.

Users feedback is welcome.

Big thanks to Martin for his work to make this possible. Also we should thank Oracle team, who ported KMS to Solaris.
