--- Comment #1 from Eero Tamminen <eero.t.tamminen at intel.com> ---
By default Mesa enables few common 3D drivers.  They can be built if you have
their dependencies installed.

Mesa doesn't try to guess for which HW you want to build your driver, because
your build machine isn't necessarily the one where the driver is going to be
used.

If you don't want to build them, you need to tell Mesa that, e.g. with:
"--with-dri-drivers=swrast --without-gallium-drivers".  I.e. this is user
error.

So far there aren't ARM machines with Integrated Intel gfx in them (although
reverse is true).  Although it's an unlikely use-case, it's possible to use ARM
machine to cross-build Intel version of Mesa, so host checking isn't enough,
potential check for disabling Intel backends on ARM needs to check target
architecture.

If you have patch for this, I guess it could get integrated.
