Version: 6.10.9
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

Since kernel 6.8, the xe driver for intel GPUs has been available as a
kernel module. Please consider including this by enabling CONFIG_DRM_XE.

See following references for more information:

   - https://docs.kernel.org/next/gpu/rfc/xe.html
   - https://www.phoronix.com/news/Linux-6.8-Released

Best regards,
Petter

This driver is still experimental and it doesn't bind to any devices by
default.  We probably won't enable it until that changes.

My understanding is that it is possible to manually trigger the binding (by
adding eg. i915.force_probe=!56a0 xe.force_probe=56a0 as kernel
parameters). Would the fact that its does not bind to hardware by default
not mitigate the experimentalness somewhat?

In case you are not aware, there are other major distros is already
including it - see below for example for Ubuntu 24.04 LTS where it was
enabled for kernel 6.8:

It mitigates the risk but I'm not sure it will stop people sending us
bug reports about the driver when it turns out not to work for them.

If the facts do not conform to your theory, they must be disposed of.
