[Beignet] build problems: ASSERTION FAILED: Fail to create the gen context

[Zhigang Gong]

Hi Igor and Yichao,

Now you could try branch Release_v0.9.x again which already fixed this
issue completely. We no longer need lspci from now on.
And if that version is good from package maintainer view, we will
consider to make another fix release soon in next week. Thanks.
