I've always thought that it's an entirely new driver. But I'm not really 
up-to-date. So the Xe driver is located under i915/ and also shares code 
with the existing i915 driver?

That change could break user-space programs. See the comment at [1] and 
the commit 842470c4e211 ("Revert "drm/fb-helper: improve DRM fbdev 
emulation device names"").  I'd rather leave the string as it is.

Best regards
