The NetBSD driver code tests the require_force_probe member of the
pci_device_id struct, it prints the message above and doesnt attach the
DRM driver if it is set.
This is set for Elkhart Lake and Tiger Lake GPUs in the version of the
DRM code in the tree, which is from Linux 5.6-rc3, later GPUs are not
detected at all.
The equivalent Linux probe function doesn't do very much if this flag
is set, you could try just removing the test to see what happens using
the patch below.
If people have got the i915drmkms driver to attach then it would be
helpful if they could try the new native MesaLib, I don't have any
recent Intel systems to test it on. To build new MesaLib set
HAVE_MESA_VER=21 in your /etc/mk.conf before running build.sh.
