Intel fb is unmaintained (well I've done trivial fixes in the past), and 
I'd rather not add new chipset support to it.

We are working (RH and Intel) on a new kernel modesetting layer which will 
allow fbs integrated with proper memory management and support all intel 
hw, 

The main problem with intelfb is it trips up the userspace X drivers a lot 
and generally break things..
