Linux 4.0, Linux 4.1 Brings Performance Boosts For Some Intel Low-Power Hardware

First up are some Linux OpenGL graphics tests with the Bay Trail HD Graphics.

Tesseract really isn't playable on the Bay Trail systems, but both systems saw minor performance improvements with the Linux 4.1 Git kernel.

Xonotic also saw performance improvements under Linux 4.1. For the Intel Compute Stick, there were also measurable performance changes between Linux 3.19 and 4.0 but that was not the case for the Intel Bay Trail NUC.

With GpuTest, the Compute Stick had better performance with Linux 4.0+ but that change wasn't seen for the older Celeron Bay Trail NUC kit.
