Suggestion: "Use panel fitting for Chrome OS mirror mode. Initially only enabled
on IVB."

technically IVB is a processor family, which just happens to have the integrated
GPU we're expecting :)

Actually, panel fitting GPU feature is not tightly coupled with mirror mode.
Right now mirror mode is the only usage, but I can think of other usages, like
magnification. So, I wouldn't want to mention mirror mode here.
The origin of "Ivy Bridge Graphics Controller" is the name I got for the device
id 0x0166 in lspci, and I believe it also appears in about:gpu.
So, I believe my original comment is a better description of my intentions.
