Enable Intel iGPU usage in Flatcar. The change only affects AMD64/x86 arch, as the GPU is part of the SoC. See: flatcar/Flatcar#1306

The resulting image needs testing on a real environment, currently I do not have one to test on. Also, the passthrough implementation using qemu or another hypervisor will most likely need extra kernel config options options enabled, extra kernel parameteres enabled and possibly initrd changes. Found these two documents that might be of help: Thanks. |

The size increase in /usr is around 13MB, and the initrd increase is almost zero, as the driver is built as module and not loaded in the initrd stage. The increase in /usr is not negligible, and consists of firmware binaries in /usr/lib/firmware/i915. The AMD64 compressed image has increased to around 590MB from 585MB. Any thoughts or opinions on the size increase? Another option would be a systemd-sysext, similar to the zfs one. |
