[Intel-gfx] i945GME support

[4ernov]

Well, I'm still experimenting with my setup. There're some interesting things:
1. It works under Windows XP with IEGD drivers, both monitors are working.
2. I found that I can't make one monitor working in X anymore, with any kernel.

But under KMS in console the first monitor seems to work properly. So,
is there also any way to get two monitors working in console? As far
as I know, they should show the same picture in console. Maybe
there're some settings to change?
