New q4 2015 skylake support?

[oscarbg]

Hi new release from last week with kernel 4.2 seems to mention skylake support... Can you mention if support is complete in this versión.. Also complete versión notes would bee good like enhanced media HW decoding and transcoding perf is in this release too?

seems a note has been posted but mentioning only q3 2015 release..

also a question: seen on the list that 6th gen support only for XenGT as your note says "KVMGT now has better support for 5th generation" so Skylake support for KVMGT currently missing, right?

mentioning only q3 2015 release? I failed to see that, would you elaborate more?

SKL support is there, shared by XenGT and KVMGT. But for KVMGT, we didnt' have tests yet, so there is no declaration of KVMGT SKL support. We do tested a lot for BDW/KVMGT.

I mean the latest commit in https://github.com/01org/Igvtg-kernel/tree/2015q4-4.2.0 branch
is " update setup guide" a week ago:
b916ec1
it adds
iGVT-g_Setup_Guide.txt
but the guide is old not mentioning 4.2.0 kernel or skylake support..

Oh yes, now I understand. It's only a preliminary support, not mature enough to be mentioned. :)
