I just wanted to report back that this procedure has resulted in my
dev machine (Intel NUC) getting a graphical framebuffer and
accelerated X. XFCE and Firefox feel a lot snappier than with VESA

Note that Skylake graphics (Intel Iris Pro) only got support two weeks
ago in -current, so it needs to be a recent kernel.
