Public bug reported:

[Impact]
The AMD/Intel pci-id's keep changing when new platforms are enabled. Currently, 
the new ones need to be added to the kernel, libdrm, mesa and xorg-server. This 
duplication is silly, as there's a limited number of drivers for a platform, so 
use a default (fallback) DRI driver for a vendor. For Intel it's i965, for AMD 
it's radeonsi.


[Test case]
check that the correct driver is still used on an Xorg session and DRI works

[Regression potential]
shouldn't be any
