Right, Ironlake is the class of graphics chips found in Core i3/5/7
with HD graphics, which are shipping in volume now.
The IPS driver is mostly standalone, but it does make some calls into
the i915 driver to increase or decrease available graphics frequencies,
so it's not a clear cut case of a new driver and does introduce some
risk.
