You may try "./autogen.sh --enable-dummy-backend=yes", and modify
dummy/va_dummy.c:va_DisplayContextGetDriverName, add the device ID and
the driver name mapping:
    struct {
        int vendor_id;
        int device_id;
        char driver_name[64];
    } devices[] = {
        { 0x8086, 0x4100, "pvr" },
        { 0x8086, 0x0130, "pvr" },
        { 0x0,    0x0,    "\0" },
    };

Make sure libudev is installed. You may need slightly change
va_dummy.c and the driver (remove X11-releated post-procesing part).
